In this fast moving world, people run in pursuit of money. Books like 'Think and grow rich' and other motivational ones aids youngsters focus on ways to accumulate riches. The mindset of all youngsters is that money is the final destination. But why all this money? Can it keep us happy always?
Merely possessing lots of wealth doesn't make us happy. Studies say, once basic needs are met, the happiness gained from money becomes stagnant. Infact, prioritizing money too highly, can negatively affect life. So, when we have a burning desire to make money, we must also have a clear cut vision on how we will spent it for the benefits of humanity.
We came empty handed into this world and we leave this world empty handed. For instance, take Alexander the Great. He conquered more than half of the world and filled his treasuries with riches. Before his death, he asked his soldiers to put his hands out of his coffin to signify the foregoing sentence.
Numerous studies reveals that charity and helping people in need makes us feel happier and wealthier. Winston Chruchill aptly quoted 'We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give'. So along with the desire to earn riches, let us also have dreams on how we will spent it on others, which inturn will give us a fulfilling life.
"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give"... It's a awesome message which is necessary in our life.
