Importance of saving money

There are opportunities on every corner but they exist only for those who have ready money, or who can command money because they have formed the habit of saving.

Generally speaking, this is the attitude that the world takes toward all those who save money.

It often happens that a small savings account of no more that two or three hundred dollars is sufficient to start one on the highway to financial independence.

Love and justice are the real arbiters of all disputes. Give them a chance and you will no longer want to defeat a brother sojourner by the wayside of life.

There may be times when you find that, even having saved money, it is difficult to persuade others to back you, simply because your vision is greater than theirs.

It may seem a cruel fact, but it is a fact nonetheless, that if you have no money, and have not developed the habit of saving, you are out of luck as far as availing yourself of the opportunity to make money is concerned.

It can do no harm to repeat in fact it should be repeated over and over again that the real start of nearly all fortunes, whether great or small, is the formation of the habit of saving money.

Get this basic principle firmly founded in your mind and you will be well on the road toward financial independence!

It is a sad sight to see someone who is well along in years of self sentenced to the wearisome treadmill of hand labor because he or she neglected to form the habit of saving money when they were younger.

The greatest things in life is freedom! but there can be no freedom without a reasonable degree of financial independence.

It is a terrible thing to be compelled to be at a certain place, at a certain task for a certain number of hours every working day of the week, for a whole lifetime. In some ways this is the sane as being in prison since one's choice of action is always limited. It is really no better that being in prison with the privilege of a "trustee" and in some ways it is even worse because the person who is imprisoned has escaped the responsibility of providing themselves a place to sleep, something to eat, and clothes to wear.

The only hope of escape from the lifelong toil which curtains freedom is to form the habit of saving money and then live up to that habit, no matter how much sacrifice it may require. There is no other way out for millions of people, unless you are one of the rare exceptions, This lesson and all these statements of fact are meant for you and apply to you!

Neither a borrower, Nor a lender be; For load oft loses itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all; to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, thou cant not then be false to any man
-Shakespeare

Learning from adversity

 If they knew that every form of defeat, and all failures, bring them the seed of unborn opportunity, they would keep on fighting and win. Success usually is but one short step beyond the point where on quits fighting. Failure is a man made circumstance. It is never real until it has been accepted by man as permanent. Failure is a state of mind; Therefore, it is something an individual can control until he neglects to exercise this privilege. Failure brings a climax in which one has the privilege of clearing his mind of fear and making a new start in another direction. Failure proves conclusively that something is wrong with one's aims or the plans by which the object of these aims is sought. Failure is the dead end of the habit-path one has been following, and when it is reached it forces one to leave that path and take up another, Thereby creating a new rhythm. It gives an individual an opportunity to test himself wherein he may learn how much will power he possesses. Failure als...

THE SUCCESS HABIT

“Success is simple. Do what’ s right, the right way, at the right time.”  —Arnold H. Glasow The choice we face is whether or not we want to form habits that get us what we want from life. If we do, then the Focusing Question is the most powerful success habit we can have. Whenever the outcome absolutely matters, I ask it. I ask it when I wake up and start my day. I ask it when I get to work, and again when I get home. What’s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? And when I know the answer, I continue to ask it until I can see the connections and all my dominoes are lined up. Obviously, you can drive yourself nuts analyzing every little aspect of everything you might do. I don’t do that, and you shouldn’t either. Start with the big stuff and see where it takes you. Over time, you’ll develop your own sense of when to use the big picture question and when to use the small-focus question. The Focusing Question is the found...
 All great leaders in every walk of life are highly sexed, but they follow the habit of controlling their sex desires, switching them into a driving force behind their occupation. The person who has self discipline understands the emotion of sex, respects it, and learns to control and transmute it into contructive activities. Q: Just what damage is there in over-indulgence of sex? A: The greatest damage is that it depletes the source of man's greatest driving force, and wastes, without adequate compensation, man's creative energy. Controlled sex supplies the magnetic force that attracts people to one another. It is the most important factor of a pleasing personality. It gives quality to the tone of voice and enables one to convey through the voice any feeling desired. It serves, as nothing else can serve, to give motive power to one's desires. It keeps the nervous system changed with the energy needed to carry on the work of maintaining the body. It sharpens the imagination...
