How rich will you be? How much wealth could you have during your whole life time ?
What I'd like to address is this question: What are the key factors that determine how much wealth someone could/might have?
I concluded that there are 3 factors:
1. Luck
2. IQ/EQ and some other "Q" or even new "Q" that might not be discovered yet. I consider attitude as part of EQ.
3. Hardwork
Luck: anything that you get (or do NOT get) but NOT because of IQ/EQ or Hardwork falls under "Luck".
Example:
1. you are stupid and lazy but still have millions to spend, how come? because you are LUCKy...you are probably the grandson of Bill Gates.
2. you don't truly have the knowledge needed to be someone at managerial post, but you are holding a title of "XXX Manager" and continuously drawing quite a good salary. How come? Because you are LUCKy!!! to have a NOT so intelligent boss who does NOT really understand what you are doing...Yes, you can continue sitting on your position because you boss is kind-of-stupid in your field..and as I said u r LUCKy.
3. and the examples continue....
IQ/EQ: you are born with it. A great IQ/EQ is supposedly a blessing because you have the power to contribute alot to society and make our human life better. But you also have the same power to destroy it/us. IQ/EQ is a double-edge sword. Use it wisely. Last, great IQ/EQ does not guarantee great wealth. With good/great IQ/EQ but without luck, you should NOT be in a bad shape though you might not go into the top 100 richest man in the world.
Hardwork: if you don't have luck and IQ/EQ, you better do this well. Unfortunately, without luck and/or IQ/EQ there is no possibility for you to go into the top 1,000,000 richest man in the world. But if you are hardworking, at least you won't have problem solving your family 3 meals. So you see, hardworking is still very important. Combining hardwork with great IQ/EQ and a little bit of LUCK, you will very likely make your way into the top 100 richest person in this UNPERFECT world..
have a nice day....

My Three Musketeers
Courage (the past), Determination (the present) and Faith (the future)
Have courage to look into your past actions and life experiences. Have courage to admit that you have done many things for your own selfishness. Have courage to admit that you are a bad person, a bad wife/husband, a bad mother/father, a bad brother/sister, a bad employee/employer, a bad friend, etc. Have courage to say you have done many wrong things. Have courage to admit your sins. Have the COURAGE to face your PAST!
Be determined to do the right things after you have courageously faced your mistakes. Give no single excuse to do the same mistake. Give no justification for another mistake. You need determination NOW, in the PRESENT!.
Have faith that what is good is NOT selfish. Have faith that what is bad is SELFISH. Let this be your ONLY core faith, Unshakable Faith. Do NOT let religion teachings to confuse you. Use religion to make this core faith of unselfishness stronger. The right religion teaching will make you a less selfish person and not the other way round. Hold this simple and powerful faith in any state of confusion. Always fall back to this when you lose your wisdom. You will NEVER be wrong if you hold on to this faith. God will NEVER like us to be selfish. Never harm others in the name of God as that is the MOST selfish reason in God's eyes.
