Rich or not to Rich?

in money •  7 years ago 

Hi everyone!

It is my first real post on steemit, so let's get straight into the topic.

I do not know, if you have the same desire as I have, but... i want to make money. I guess it sounds familiar.
What is more, I do not want to earn pennies. I want to be able to afford long vacations, rather cool car (only if you find Bentley cool) and gifts and help for my relatives. That requires big money, rather big. I surely wouldn't make it through McDonalds. Not saying working at McD is something bad, never.

So... What is the problem? It should be easy, get rich and it's done. Yet, I always had such a feeling that by becoming rich I will hurt those who are poor. You see poor, homeless people everyday. At least I do. It often leads to awkward situations, as I do not know how should I feel and react. Walking in comfy shoes, warm jacket and a smartphone in my pocket, while passing by a guy who can't afford a bread roll. Of course, it is not my fault. Maybe he didn't want to work, so it is all his fault? Maybe he had tough childhood? Maybe his parents left him? No idea.

I used to live with such uncertainty for couple years. Basically since I turned 18. That would be 3 years...
Yup, 21 - 18 that is 3. Quick maths, as some poet once said. Nowadays, I am more into smart money than just making money. Through that I came across a great statement, which had opened my eyes. Literally. So, here I break the truth:

How you want to help poor, while being poor?

That's it. I bet you also want to help poor. Help those who are in need. Homeless, children without parents and home, left alone mothers with their children. They all need help. And how can you help them? By saying it is all gonna be okay? By sending them a postcard every Christmas? Of course, it is good to do what you can, but if you have a choice then why not to make the most of what we are capable of?

After realizing that being rich does make it possible to help more efficiently I want to become rich asap. Really.
And I do not think there is anything wrong in such statement. I want to make money and live financially independent, but I also want to help. Right now I can donate, let's say 10$ a month to a chosen charity. That's good. Help however you can, even if it is a dollar per month. But why not to turn that dollar into 10k? Then 10k to 100k?
I bet you get the point.

What is more, I believe that, while you give you get. Giving more will make you earn more money.

So, that is my rather quick thought for the weekend. Hope you like it!
Remember, try to help as you can. It is really worth doing it. Be generous. Feel better by so. There is nothing wrong in feeling good after giving help. But do not stop, give once, then twice then...

Have a good weekend boys and girls! If everything goes right I will launch cool charity-like service pretty soon.
If the things go as planned it will be January 2018. Before I actually do so, I will share the overall idea with you, so you can give me some feedback and let me know what do you think!

Till the next!
