The general understanding of wealth is A
LOT OF MONEY, or anything that can amount to much money.
However, wealth can be viewed from several
perspectives.
For instance, the oxford dictionary defines
wealth as
1. A
large amount of money, property or valuable possessions.
2. The
state of being rich.
3. A
large amount of resources or any desirable thing.
The Holy Bible describes wealth as the
“fortified city of the rich”.
Lester
Thurow says wealth is knowledge
Robert Kiyosaki believes that wealth equals energy
Ric Edelman demonstrates that wealth is something that lies within you
“I see wealth as the necessary ingredient
that could make a person have a well balanced life and still remain at peace
with his God and fellow human being” Mrs
C A Bello Aromire
Matthew Ojo says Health is Wealth
“I see wealth as then final phase of true
happiness” Sijuade Seriki
“A wealthy man is the one who doesn’t has
enough “Chinese proverbs
“I see wealth as contentment” Bisi Salau
“Wealth is not only what you have, it is
what you are” Sterling W.Sill
This goes to show that things are not
always what they appear to be. If we must create wealth, we must understand
what wealth truly means, not just from our dictionary standpoint, but from the
standpoint of Gods instructions, and from the lives of men who have successful
created wealth from nothing .We must understand that wealth is not just
something we acquire, it is a way of life.
What we do with our wealth will always be
more important than the wealth itself, for that is the true essence and purpose
of wealth. Anyone who does not understand this will remain poor and
unfulfilled, even in the midst of great materials riches .Little wonder some
rich steal money and hide it always in secret bank accounts.
The man who said “knowledge is Wealth
“couldn’t be more correct, as illiteracy is the bedrock of psychological
,financial and moral poverty. A man who possesses knowledge can never be a
slave. But many have enslaved themselves to money, and have willingly dammed
their souls to acquire it, because they lack the understanding that money is
merely a tool of exchange, and not a god to be served.
With the right understanding and knowledge,
all the human resources that are going to wastes in cybercafés and street
corners can be transformed into true wealth. All that is needed is willingness
to work .Money does not drop out of thin air. It must pass through a process
before it manifests as raw cash that one can spend. That process involves hard work, skill, and
understanding/knowledge, lack of sleep in many cases, patience and commitment.
It is investing of your time in sometime productive, instead of wasting it
watching movies, playing games, engaging in idle gossip or outright sleeping
when you could be doing something more useful.
Remember, the rich and the poor have this
in common: they have the same daily quota of twenty –four hours. What are you
doing with your twenty fours?
