1.There's a reason why people do unspeakable and atrocious things because of money. Were you thinking its just poverty?Think again. Its greed and lack of contentment. Greed is the reason why a mother and her son with their 'minister' killed another human being because of money.
2. Greed is the reason why that banker commits fraud. Greed is the reason why you covet other people's things when you already have all the basic things of life and then some.
I have come to realise that there's something inherently wrong with the black man.
3. Give a black man plenty of money beyond his imagination. The first thing that comes into his head is how to 'pepper' them with no plans to give back to the society. Selfishness and myopic living is almost embedded in our DNA.
4. It's the reason why the successes of your friends intimidate you rather than motivate you. It's the reason why we don't have great mentor-mentee relationships.
Contentment is key in life. The person that is blessed with contentment does not know how rich he is.
5. Not contentment with mediocrity but striving hard to be a better version of yourself while you're grateful for what you have at hand. When you celebrate the wins of others and you're genuinely happy for them without wishing for their downfall...yours will surely come.
6. Two songs dominated the the music industry two years ago (I think) and last year. 'If we no get money wetin we gain' and 'Life is all about the money' by Davido. I now realize the reason why I was not particularly fond of any. It had the get rich or you're nothing mentality.
7. Money is good; but if all you have in life is money with nothing else, then I have to say you're the most bereft of wealth. If all you respect in human beings is position and money and the absence of it makes you treat others like waste paper...you're despicable.
8. Looking at people that made their money legitimately....they'll be quick to tell you that it wasn't an easy task. It is important that we let our children know this. 'The heights that were reached and kept by great men, was not attained by a sudden flight.
9. But they, while their companions slept...were toiling upwards in the night'.
Money is important...but don't lose everything important in your quest to have money.
