Money, Vices or virtues

Recently, I have read various books written on positive thinking, how to become millionaire, how to make friends etc. etc..

I really like these books, apart from that I found that authors of the books are writing very rationally, practically and proves their point with example. They treat the thing on its face value. What they write is about real life problem & probable solutions.

I am not naming any books but like to express my general opinion about its contents.

First thing first they asked us 1) Where are you now? & 2) where you want to reach?

As an Indian, we worship “Lakshmi Devi” but in the mind of mind, we think that more money means more vices.

Is it the situation? Most of us, who has “rich neighbors / relatives” as compared to us, will complain that he / she is making money by using wrong tactics / illegal means.

We seldom find (as per our thinking) a millionaire & still kind and noble person. In fact, we have ‘n’ no. of examples of people who change their attitude with the increase of their wealth.

This does mean that never earn too much money?

I think otherwise. I really appreciate the person who build the enterprise, big business, or who overcame from his poor background to stability. Examples are endless, Mr. Naryan Murthi, Late Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani, Mr.Shah Rukh Khan etc..

Back to our topic.

What I like about this books is that they tell us that you want to become happy and wants you to accept that you like to have lots of money. You want to grow up to higher ladder.

This is the fact.

We know we can’t buy happiness through money but still having money will at least ease our life. We never accept in open that we want money. Yes we want money, not only sufficient money but excess money to fulfill our dreams, desire, requirements, best education to our children, security to our family, charity, show off etc.

These books say accept that you want money & lots of money and that Lots of money will come only if you plan & work in right direction & full dedication. You have to work hard, toil yourself, make sacrifices to reach the position where you want to go. For example, you want to increase your income, start working extra after office hours by sacrificing your leasure time or start any side business which cost times & capital.


We have to think logically, clearly and work accordingly. It is not easy but our perception needs to be changed.

In any case, I wish to earn money, big money, through right means (only). I hope, I succeed.

Wish good luck to me & I Wish good luck to you too.
