Simply Happy

dear Friends,
Recently there is much books about success, getting rich, etc. i think everyone loves to get rich, having much money, but the question is, do we really need it?

fist of all we must remember there is no one is the riches on graveyard, we can't bring all the money we have to the grave. the second is, a famous Indonesia Actor, Ari Wibowo, was said "NOTHING ON THE TOP". Ari Wibowo have already reach all thing, he is rich, famous, super star, but the message is clear " there is no thing on the top", you may reach anything, u may dream, and doing any effort to achieve it, but after you get it, there is nothing is left. nothing on the top.

i was remember, a year ago, i dream to have a Nokia 9300 cellphone, a month latter i brought it. but now the new communicator series is arrive, Nokia E90. i just want to say, do not follow our lust, because it can't satisfied, once we satisfied our desire, the next thing will come, we became slave our own desire. do not satisfied what can't be satisfied

what is the use of money, when we after it we get sick? our family became forgotten? Dr. Thomas Fuller said " Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health". what is the use of our money, when after we getting old we became full of sick (because we often work overtime, get stressed when we are young?). i was realized it recently, about 1-2 years ago, i work quietly diligent, i often came home late to finish my job. but after i get sick, i realized health i the most important. and now i rarely work overtime, i enjoy my life, i enjoy my work.

but how we can simply happy?
1. dear friends, family is our treasure, as a parents we have duty to teach our son in the right way. many parents work to much, they get wrong when they think money can make they son is happy. our child need our love and time more than money.
2. to be simply happy, we need to manage our expanses, we must stop our expanses that we don't need. for exp : tv cable, sport ticket and others. manage your money, first thing first. we don't get our money easily, so don't spend it easily.
3. avoid to have thing by credit, buy cash, don't be hurry, just be patient, when you do this, u have been avoid from a big credit interest.
4. branded thing, do we need it? do we buy clothes, pants because its brand or its quality? for your information, you can save a lot of money when u chose to buy a non branded thing that branded one, with the same quality.
5. be happy just as you are, with all you have. be thankful,be satisfied on what you have. there is a great power, great peace when we have this attitude. as long as we have a place to sleep, a clothes to wear, a food to eat, please realized that we are richer than half of the people on earth.
6. saving. please try to save 15-20% each month. savings is important for future. after years and years you will be amaze with all you got. the best time to start it is NOW.
7. happiness will be never full until we share it. so to fulfill your happiness, we must start to share what we have with other. we only live once, don't waste it, do something useful for others, start with your smile even with someone you don't know, your time and your money. dear friends, when we start giving our money to the needy, thats is the time we declare we are rich, because we can give. and i think GOD will loves it, and HE will bless you abundantly.
