Road to riches

Opinion on this subject is divided. There are some who  point out that there is a contradiction praying for money and in stating that to be rich or poor is a matter of fate. That is why although we wish to acquire wealth we do not give much thought to the ways and means of making money. On the contrary, we are most of the time haunted by the fear of poverty. In other words, we are possessed by questions like what will happen to us if our service is terminated, if we lose our money or if we incur losses in our business ventures. Anxieties like these will make us think more about poverty, and ill-luck. As a result, the will to make money gets trodden under. The law of nature is that nobody can get rich while meditating on destitution. but the strange thing is that we sink ourselves in thoughts of poverty while we wish to earn money. For example when we see one of our neighbors incur a great monetary loss., the thought that naturally comes to our mind is what will happen to us if we meet the same fate. Or we may call the hardship a man has gone through because of heavy trade losses, which has reduced him for beneath the poverty line or we may recall a person who is ignored by everybody because he no longer hold the high post which he held previously. Seeing his change in status we may ask ourselves, "What will happen to us if the same fate overtake us? How shall we get our children good education. Perhaps we may be forced to take loan to meet the expenses according to our social status". Suddenly we also remember the house is also in need of repair. When the question of buying ornaments for our wives comes up, we either turn a deaf ear or we declare beforehand that we too poor for that kind of luxury submerged in thoughts of poverty. With this sort of thought ever present in your mind, how can you dream of getting rich?


So, the condition to be drawn in that one must always think of riches if one wants to be rich, read the biography of rich men and try to flood on's mind with the same liberal thoughts which are the constant companions of rich men. At the same time, we must think of the difficulties faced in the past by those who are rich now or the challenges overcome by them, and struggles made by them in the quest of wealth. we must prepare ourselves to undergo those difficulties and to face those challenges. Also, we must put into action the ways and means adopted and efforts put up by the rich to make money, and never allow fears of poverty to darken our onward path. This is the easy road to riches.
