While in my childhood and adolescent age, my mum regularly taught and instructed me on different important qualities that will help me navigate life successfully and in the right path. At that point they seemed like mere qualities because the test to help refine me and make see their importance we're yet to come.
Contentment as widely defined and understood is a quality of being satisfied with one's possession. It is a very important quality especially in a world where many youths have sought the path of quick money without following due process.
It's alarming to see the rate at which young people perpetuate fraud, scams,and commit all sorts of offenses without thinking of the repercussion. It's more sad to note that parents who should serve as moral guides are now actively involved in this things done by their children by way of encouragement and welcoming their lavish lifestyle.
In my opinion contentment goes alongside patience. There's a path to wealth and it's not through get rich quick schemes so while following due process with hard work one has to be patient for things to fall in place according to the work put forth while being contented with the present stage of growth.
There is constant moral decay little wonder the lack of contentment which is why fraudulent and get rich schemes still works till today because people still feel they can get smarter than the scheme and cash out as they say before it eventually crashes which they are aware of.
Time and time again people have lost much money to these schemes which have been a reason for attempted suicides, more poverty, depression, loss of properties and so on. The effects of the fraudulent schemes are disastrous and people keep falling for them because they lack the quality of contentment.
Many young ones today have engaged in activities that are disgusting all in the efforts to make quick money. And everyday it gets harder to be morally resolved not to join the evil trend because all around this same youths flaunt cars and exorbitant lifestyle which will eventually not last.
One important thing my mom taught me is not to envy money gotten through fraudulent means as the people involved do not have peace of mind, that has been sustaining me alongside my well trained conscience. It's my earnest desire to encourage other's like me passing through the trial some adulthood to work hard, follow due process and stay contented as we will surely get to the point of wealth legitimately as many others have.
Hard work and contentment pays, illegitimate means though brings the income but deprives one of peace of mind and in the long run imprisonment, death or some other trouble
Contentment is key to a good and rewarding life.
