The Richest man in Bablyon

 A part of all your earn is yours to keep.

The seven cures to wealth

1. Start Thy purse to fattening.
2. Control thy expenditures- confuse not thy necessary expenses with thy desires.
3. Get 100% value for your coins.
3. Make thy gold multiply-invest in index funds.
4. Guard thy treasures from loss- invest in index funds.
5. Secure smaller amounts and learn to protect them.
6. The first sound principal of investment is security for thy principal.
7. Make of thy dwelling a profitable investment.
8. Own thy own home-buy something affordable.
9. Provide in advance for the needs of thy growing age and the protection of thy family.
10. Increase thy ability to earn.
11. Desires must be simple and definite. They defeat their own purpose should they be too many,
too confusing, or beyond a man's training to accomplish.
12. The more of wisdom we know, the more we may earn. That man who seeks to learn more of
his craft shall be richly rewarded.
13. Always do the affairs of man change and improve because keen-minded men seek greater skill
that they may better serve those upon whose patronage they depend. Therefore, I urge all men to be in
the front rank of progress and not to stand still, lest they be left behind.
14. He must pay his debts with all the promptness within his power, not purchasing that for which
he is unable to pay.
15. He must take care of his family that they may think and speak well of him.
16. He must make a will of record that, in case the Gods call him, proper and honourable division
of his property be accomplished.
17. He must have compassion upon those who are injured and smitten by misfortune and aid them
within reasonable limits. He must do deeds of thoughtfulness to those dear to him.
18. Thus the seventh and last remedy for a lean purse is to cultivate thy own powers, to study and
become wiser, to become more skillful, to so act as to respect thyself.
19. He must have compassion upon those who are injured and smitten by misfortune and aid them
within reasonable limits. He must do deeds of thoughtfulness to those dear to him.
20. A man should have a valuable estate to be respected among men.
21. Action will lead thee forward to the successes thou dost desire- Avoid Procrastination.

The laws of Gold
--------------------
The First Law of Gold
Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not
less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his
family.

The Second Law of Gold
Gold laboreth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it
profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.

The Third Law of Gold
Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the
advice of men wise in its handling.

The Fourth Law of Gold
Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with
which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.

The Fifth Law of Gold
Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth
the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience
and romantic desires in investment.

22. If you desire to help thy friend, do so in a way that will not bring thy friend's burdens upon thyself.

23. Better a little caution than a great regret.
24. We cannot afford to be without adequate protection.
25. No man can respect himself who does not repay honest debts.
26. Where the determination is the way can be found.
27. Never shirk work, do a good job everytime.
28. Work well done, does good to the man by making him a better man.
29. I honor him for rising above his misfortune and becoming a
leading citizen of Damascus. Art thou, his grandson, cast of the same mold? Art thou man enough to
face true facts, or dost thou prefer to live under false illusions?

30. Decide what thou desirest to accomplish and then work will aid thee to achieve it!
