There are many people who will laugh now and say,
"Really, I need a million dollars and I will be happy"
Recently, when I was dealing with cryptographic coins, I got to know rich people!
How rich?
Some of them have over 100 million dollars!
Most of them do not understand much about the Bitcoin world, some are key people in the Bitcoin world.
I went to visit one family in which the father made a lot of money (not from Bitcoin) and I saw the family completely finished, broke!
The child is clinically depressed - all the time in front of the computer, if he is disconnected from the computer he plays on a cell phone.
The girl is quiet and introverted, they are two children.
I talked to the father a little about digital coins, he left the family long ago, he lived with his mistress and left his wife.
The curses I heard him cursing his wife would not embarrass a person suffering from a tort.
His former wife started taking antidepressants and she takes care of the house (a huge villa) alone and also the children, the father is hardly in contact with the children.
His former wife told me:
I do not know how when he started to be rich he left me and the children?
If you go into their house, you'll see a lot of money!
But you will not see a drop of happiness
On the other hand, I know a family that I teach them privately-math and english
They do not have a lot of money - they are five children and they were expelled from the house that was theirs because they could not repay the mortgage
Money I can not find there,
The sofas are received from donations, they receive packages of food every week to help them survive
They earn a pretty good salary, and fate is just cruel to them.
But when you go into the house, what you see is smiling children and you smell a good smell of cooking.
When I read the book "How to treat money" I did not believe the paragraph that says "there is no connection between wealth and happiness"
As I grew older, and I went into new houses, I saw new people
I understood one thing, you can be happy in any situation!
As long as you're healthy and you have somewhere to sleep and what to eat, what we lack is satisfaction in the head.
There is a sentence in Jewish wisdom that says "איזה הוא עשיר? השמח בחלקו".
Who is rich? Those who are happy with they have. (poor translate , in Hbrew it sounds much better)
When you are a child you do not understand the sentence in depth.
You want the most expensive toy, or the Playstation, or fly to beautiful places.
There is an interesting message to my life at least.
If you are not happy when you have no money (or anything you want)
Apparently money or anything else would not change the situation.
If you are happy and happy with what you have, you are probably a tool to gain more happiness and wealth.
So what came the egg or the chicken first?
Happiness or wealth?
Decide for yourself.
