It’s true. Money has no character, no personality, no values. Its
actions only reflect the desires of its owner. Money can build great
hospitals and schools, or it can be gambled away or squandered on
meaningless possessions. Money may build museums to house beautiful
works of art, it may construct beautiful houses of worship or it may be
used to create instruments of war and destruction.
As you build your personal wealth, make sure you build your character by
setting aside a portion of your income to help others. Choose a church,
a charity, or a cause that you can enthusiastically support. Then give
of your money and your time in support of that cause. The primary
beneficiary of such noble actions is always the one who gives, not the
one who receives.

IF YOU HAVE A BETTER WAY OF DOING ANYTHING, YOUR IDEA MAY BE WORTH A FORTUNE.
| Image via Wikipedia |
In any type of business, the most valuable ideas are those that make
money, save money, save time, or improve the way things are done. Every
improvement, however slight, is a step in the right direction. Being
alert for opportunities to improve things is a function of a positive
attitude. It is virtually impossible to think creatively about
opportunities when your thoughts are concentrated on the downside risk
instead of the upside potential. As you search for ways to improve your
performance, or to find a better, faster, or more economical way to
perform a task or build a product, by all means analyze and minimize the
risks but focus on the possibilities.

DON’T BE SATISFIED WITH BEING GOOD AT YOUR JOB. BE THE BEST, AND YOU’LL BE INDISPENSABLE.
| Image by Toban Black via Flickr |
Experts have consistently found that after a certain point, money
ceases to be a motivator. Even though you may not yet have reached that
point, if you are honest with yourself, you will probably find that
money is only one of many considerations. When asked if they would
continue doing what they do even though it didn’t pay well, most highly
successful people reply, "Absolutely. I wouldn’t change a thing. I love
what I’m doing." One of the surest ways to climb the ladder of success
is to choose a job that you would do even if you didn’t earn much at it.
When you are working because you like what you do, the money will
follow. You will become such a rare commodity that others will compete
for your services-and pay you handsomely for them.
