A Simple Truth about Wealth

Barbara’s comment on my Frame of Mind post reminded me of one of my philosophies of life:

  • No Matter How Rich You Become, Someone Will Always Be Richer (unless your name is Bill Gates) – So, live your life without hurting others (and without whining), and maybe help those that are truly in need.

And here’s the corollary:

  • No Matter How Poor You Become, Someone Out There Has It Worse - Everyone is entitled to some bad luck now and then, but it’s not the end of the world. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again (great tune, btw).

What do you think?
