To be frank, i stupid when it comes to money matters.WHen i was in standard 3, primary school i was called up by a local magician showing the kids around with his lame predictable illusions up on stage. Then he told me that he is going to show me how he is going to turn 2 pieces of damn cheap toilet tissues into real money. He was going to give me the money, so he ask me to make a choice. Either RM1, RM10 or RM50.
I told him RM1, "HUH?" responded the magician . DO you really want RM1? he asked again.
With my spongebob eyes waiting for the excitement for the magic act, i nodded yes.
He then flip the tissues into a small pieces make a few Adacadrabra....POP!
the tissues are now the RM1, called me off the stage and get anothet kid up on stage...The other kid ended up with the RM50. My dad ask me, Why RM1?
I was curious why everyone is upset and mad at me because i choose RM1 instead of RM50.
They said i will have problems with money when i grow older. That time that choice was made for the love of the show, i was not aiming for the money but to witness the power of magic...that's all... so i'm wrong? I was curious with the adult's reaction on that day till now. Was it wrong for a pure kid to only really wants to enjoy the show and nothing else? Must every kid taught to be greedy in Money?
I my later teenage years and early adulthood, money became important. Whatever you need , needs money. Now your status in life is measured by money. I worked day & night for the accumulation for money hoping someday i will be rich.
RICH
What define rich? Having great wealth? Having RM1 billion in the bank? Having a BIG house and rockstar Car? IS THAT ALL CAN BE CLAIMED AS RICH?
As my life have the ups and downs like every other person, i began to analyse this so called RICH. Looks like if i would ever wans to come near to Bill Gates, even i work 2 jobs a day in this current state, I WILL NEVER BE 10% AS RICH AS HIM. NEVER
NEVER
= a word to describe something that will not happen at all.
RICH = can be measure only by money?
I was stuck.... I lost hope....I was never going to be rich as i calculated.
Then I realized...... RICHNESS is not only money....
MONEY IS JUST A MEDIUM
OUR Money in our pockets are actually borrowed loan currency by our country to some rich man.
Our Money is going down on value every time the clock ticks. Money is just an idea.
It's just a piece of paper believed that it's value by people.
Even if you have it, it's own by someone else....
I lived my whole life workin like a dog for this IDEA?
COme on man.....!!!!
Why don't i use this idea to my benefits?
I changed my mindset to money...
Money is not the one i work for everyday i'm at work workin my ass off.
I was doing for something else..... Some other richness i would say...
THINK & GROW RICH
