The richest man of Babylon

I read this wonderful little finance handbook upon completing Rich Dad Poor Dad. It is amazing that such wisdom imparted from this book is written based on the lives of people who live during the anxient civilisation of Babylon. I truly enjoy reading this book and appreciate the simple yet profoundly relevant Five Laws of Gold towards a more meaningful and financially independent journey on this earth. I started the first rule; save one tenth of thy salary for thyself many years ago not knowing who actually promoted it. Unfortunately for me, I have stopped this exercice couple of years back, not because I stopped believing, the outcome has been great I'm telling you. I stopped because at my new job, I could no longer get the convenience of part of my salary deducted to "pay me first". I must start again soon. Better a little caution than a great regret. This is advice of Mathon the gold lender to Rodan on his intentions to lend his gold to his beloved sister for her to give them to her husband so that the husband can start a business and be a rich merchat one day. Man are generally naturally destructive. Is that right? I can't say. But one thing I am sure of, man would do lots, for self interest. Remember The Lone Ranger starring Johny Depp, the bad cavalry/military, shooting the red indians shrieking "For God....for our Land", when in actual fact, they (especially the lead, the common man probably do it out of loyalty), do it because of wealth expected from silver. End of the day, we are all entirely responsible for the way we live, the way we write our thoughts and the way we interpret other's ideas. Let's read more good books and choose wisely.....
