This blog has took on measures to bring good news, inspirations and motivations to everyone.

Since we are still in a global economic crisis, I’ve taken it upon myself to bring in some information to help working people take on a different perspective on money-making. I know there are many articles about financial issues out there but I would like to take the chance to share something to the world and I hope, the posts that will be posted this week, will help many people on their work and money related problems.

23. Preserve your Integrity

Preserve Your Integrity

To get rich, is not always equivalent to being successful.

“There are many rich poor men,” while there are many others, honest and devout men and women, who have never possessed so much money as some rich persons squander in a week, but who are nevertheless really richer and happier than any man can ever be while he is a transgressor of the higher laws of his being.

The inordinate love of money, is also presumed “the root of all evil,” but money itself, when properly used, is not only a “handy thing to have in the house,” but affords the gratification of blessing for humans by enabling its possessor to enlarge the scope of human happiness through sharing and human influence.

Money cannot buy everything but it does make life easier.

The desire for wealth is nearly universal, and none can say it is not laudable, provided the possessor of it accepts its responsibilities, and uses it as a friend to humanity.

The history of money-getting, which is commerce, is a history of civilization, and wherever trade has flourished most, there, too, have art and science produced the noblest fruits.

In fact, as a general thing, money-getters are the benefactors of our race. To them, in a great measure, are we indebted for our institutions of learning and of art, our academies, colleges and churches. It is no argument against the desire for, or the possession of wealth, to say that there are sometimes misers who hoard money only for the sake of hoarding and who have no higher aspiration than to grasp everything which comes within their reach. As we have sometimes hypocrites in religion, and demagogues in politics, so there are occasionally misers among money-getters.

To everyone, therefore, the best advise I could say (and heard from many sources), make money
honestly, and not otherwise, for Shakespeare has truly said, “He that wants money, means, and content, is without three good friends.”

21. Be Charitable

Be Charitable

Of course men should be charitable, because it is a duty and a pleasure. But even as a matter of policy, if you possess no higher incentive, you will find that the liberal man will command patronage, while the sordid,
uncharitable miser will be avoided.

Solomon says:
“There is that scattereth and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than meet, but it tendeth to poverty.”

Of course the only true charity is that which is from the heart.

The best kind of charity is to help those who are willing to help themselves. Promiscuous almsgiving, without inquiring into the worthiness of the applicant, is bad in every sense. But to search out and quietly assist those who are struggling for themselves, is the kind that “scattereth and yet increaseth.” But don’t fall into the idea that some persons practice, of giving a prayer instead of a potato, and a benediction instead of bread, to the hungry. It is easier to make Christians with full stomachs than empty.
