Be a money trainer, not a miser

You must let others deeply realize that through your association, they themselves will continue to make progress and gain more wealth, because in each transaction, what you give them is a use value, and this The value is far greater than the monetary value you get from them.

- "The Lost Classic of Getting Rich"

There are two seas in Palestine, one is fresh water, with fish in it, called the Sea of ​​Galilee.The Jordan River, which flows down from the mountains, has made this sea with splashing waves.It sings in the sun, men build houses around it, birds build their nests in the thick foliage, and every creature is happy in it.

The Jordan River flows south into another sea.There is no fish here, no leaves, no birds singing, no children laughing.Unless there is an emergency, the traveler always chooses another route.The air on the surface of the water here is heavy, and no animal is willing to drink water here.

These two seas are next to each other, why are they so different?Not because of the Jordan River, which pours the same fresh water into it.Not because of the soil, nor because of the surrounding countries.The difference is this: the Sea of ​​Galilee accepts the Jordan River, but never holds on to it. For every drop that flows in, another drop flows out. Receiving and giving go hand in hand.

The other sea is very shrewd. It collects every income miserly, never giving in to the impulse of generosity, and every drop of water it can only get in and out.

Galilei is charitable and full of vitality.The other one never gives, it is the Dead Sea.

Two kinds of people in the world are very similar to the two seas in Palestine: some people love their wealth, but love life more, so they become the masters of wealth; others, cherish their money as they cherish life , Over time, it becomes a slave to money.Those who are stingy can only be lifeless like the Dead Sea; only those who are willing to give like the Sea of ​​Galilee can gain vitality.

Being stingy is a deformed human nature. A stingy person is not short of money, but his soul and spirit are getting poorer day by day.People who are miserly are generally selfish and greedy. Such people always think that they are too slow to get rich, and the "efficiency" of making money is too low.The money in the miser's pocket is more or less unclean, and shame, conscience, and truth will all sink in the miser's sea of ​​desire.

However, all a miser can do is hold on to every penny in his hand, and hold it with both hands, so what can he use to create?Some people put on the cloak of "frugality" for their stinginess. It is true that frugality is not only a cornerstone of wealth accumulation, but also the foundation of many excellent qualities.Frugality can improve one's character, and practicing frugality can also benefit other human abilities.Frugality is a mark of excellence in many ways.

The habit of thrift demonstrates self-control, and at the same time proves that a man is not an incorrigible victim of his own desires and weaknesses, but that he is in control of his money and his own destiny.

To create wealth, we must advocate frugality, but we must pay attention to bypassing the swamp of miserliness.Someone once said: "No investment, no return".Those who are reluctant to sow can only reap meager fruits. This is true for farmers and businessmen.

The famous British writer Ruskin said: "Usually people think that the meaning of the word thrift should be 'a way to save money'; in fact, it is wrong, and thrift should be interpreted as a 'method to use money'." Reasonable use of your wealth , it will become a bargaining chip for you to gain more wealth; if you are stingy with every gold coin in your hand, then they will only become discarded metal in the warehouse.
