These men certainly knew how to make a living and accumulate wealth.
Attending the meeting were the following men:
1. The president of the largest steel company.
3. The president of the largest gas company,
4. The president of the New York Stock Exchange,
5. The president of the Bank of International Settlements.
6. The Greatest wheat speculator.
8. The head of the *World's greatest Economy*
And,
9. A member of President Harding's cabinet.
That's a pretty impressive line-up of people by anyone's yardstick Or Standard.
Yet, 25 years later, where were those nine Industrial Giants?
What these Great Wealthy men all had in common was that, they forgot how to "make" life while they got busy making money!
Money in itself is not evil; it provides food for the hungry, medicine for the sick, clothes for the needy. Money is only a medium of exchange.
a) One that teaches us 'HOW TO MAKE A LIVING''.
and
b) One that teaches us 'HOW TO LIVE'
There are many of us who are so engrossed in our professional life that we neglect our family, health and social responsibilities.
Yet, our kids are sleeping when we leave home.
They are sleeping when we come back home!!
Twenty years later, we’ll turn back, and they’ll all be gone, to pursue their own dreams and their own lives.
The ship needs water, but if the water gets into the ship, the ship will face existential problems. What was once a means of living for the ship will now become a means of destruction for it..
So take a moment and ask yourself, "Has the water entered my ship?"
I hope not!
''Alone I can 'Say' *but*
together we can 'talk'.
'Alone I can 'Enjoy' *but*
together we can
'Celebrate'.
'Alone I can 'Smile' *but*
together we can 'Laugh'.
That's the BEAUTY of
Human Relations.
each other
