Let
me share with you an incredible tale my dad told me once.
A poor man
complained to God, saying, “how unfair life is, the rich man has it so
easy but I have to slave away!” So God took the rich man and made him as
poor as the poor man, and gave them both fishing rods.
So
of course, both being poor, they start fishing. After the first day,
the poor man catches 10 fish and sells them for $20 at the market.
Happy, he decides to buy some veggies, some rice, and as a special
treat, some meat too for his family and they have a grand night.
The
rich man also catches 10 fish, but he sells 9 for $18. He eats the last
fish with his family, but it’s not enough so they go to bed hungry. The
next day he takes his $18, and offers a fellow $10 to help him fish.
The next day he gets 20 fish ($40) and repeats the process.
The poor man
still buys some veggies, some meat, and remains the same. After some
time, the rich man has saved enough money to make other investments and
other business ventures.
So my point is, you
have to be good with money, and you have to be willing to make
sacrifices. Being good with money allows you to save precious time and
maximize your opportunities.
