All of us want to be happy and have enough money, it is true that "Money isn't Everything" but the reality is that many ideas in this world require money to materialize, they may not even guarantee a happy life, but they are a pretty good basis to learn how to build happiness on ... for now.
The sad opinion is - "Happiness that Money Brings cannot last".
I took to write this book after reading a translated chinese article by a famous Hongkong tycoon; the translated quote depicts how every salaried person need to struggle each day trying to recover his daily expenditure and living his life facing such rat race will just keeps all this people locked down with each day only looking for ways and means to earn money .. the struggle pushes on.
"With Money, people cannot necessarily materialize everything, however without money many things cannot be accomplished".
The Hongkong Tycoon once told his son: “My apple tastes different to yours. It tastes much better. That is because when I was a little boy, I passed by fruit stands, and I had no money to buy any fruit.”
He further elaborates ;
“Observing billionaires spending their money, we learn a lesson in living:
Life can be designed . Careers can be planned .Happiness can be prepared .
When you are poor , try spend less time at home and more time outside .
When you are rich ,stay at home more and less out side .
This is the art of living with frugality .
When you are poor spend money on others .
When you’re rich spend money on yourself.
When one is poor be good to others , When one is rich, one must learn to let others be good to you .
You have to learned to be good to yourself better.
When you are poor , you have to throw yourself out in the open and
let people make good use of you

You do not need to be afraid of being poor , you need to know how to invest in yourself and increase your wisdom and stature .
This book tells you how to change your thermostat to think rich. Furthermore, it stresses on having an entrepreneur mindset and that the best way to escape the rat race and to be successful is to take action today. Really insightful and hard hitting.
