What do you think when you are rich?
A lot of people are given wealth but wrong in using it.!
What if the wealth is given to you, whether you will use it properly..?

In my experience and opinion, there are two main approaches/attitudes that can be taken by those with 'material' wealth, although a certain mixture of the two may also be the case to some small degree. I am assuming you mean richness in money and possessions, and not non-material richness (being happy, content, open, loving, at peace etc).
The first attitude - which is by far the most widespread, and also the one that 'ambition' and 'greed' aspire to - is the SERVICE-TO-SELF model. Over here, there is a sense of entitlement (it's MY money, I've worked hard for it, people respect me because I have a lot of it, I need it to be happy or to gain respect, power etc). For many with lots of money, there is a sense that everyone else wants what one has - thus there is suspicion of those who are perceived to have less and a defensive or aggressive response is generated. There is a sense of only being able to relate to those in a similar situation (the rich-folks' clubs, grouping together in fear of it being taken away, using power and influence to grab more and to protect it). There is the violently divisive 'us' vs 'them' mentality - this is supported by mainstream society, which proposes the notion that wealth brings happiness and therefore that the wealthy and powerful are 'superior'. Service-to-Self sees a world of division and conflict, a Darwinian survival of the most cut-throatedly fittest - ie those already in power. There is a certain arrogance and blinkered self-serving mindset of 'scarcity' that feeds this - fear of not having enough despite the monetary value of one's assets, and fear of everyone becoming 'rich' and subsequent loss of 'status' (what does it mean to be 'rich' if everyone has more than enough money such that they don't perceive themselves to be inferior or powerless?). Here 'success' (incorrectly taken to be synonymous with 'happiness') comes at the expense and misery of others. I consider this to be an extremely stressful state of being - constantly pushing for more, constantly on guard, constantly comparing oneself with those who are further up the ladder, constantly fighting. Not to mention the energetic impact of such violence and its consequences (for self and others). There is an epidemic of this in current society, a sickness of the heart (which often manifests in the body), where materialism has greater perceived value than a fellow human being. Enter at your own risk!
The opposite end of the spectrum is the SERVICE-TO-OTHERS attitude. This does not assume material wealth to be of the highest order, nor to be the bringer of happiness. The mindset is one of 'Abundance', where there is no need to hoard as there is enough to go around, and one can assist this process by turning the tables on the self-serving paradigm of 'take take take'. There is no longer a perceived need to be dishonest, to lie or cheat in order to 'get ahead', as everyone is equal, simply human beings with red blood running through veins and no one naturally has greater entitlement than another. The joy of sharing is discovered and lived by - not just sharing money, but sharing the RICHNESS (non material wealth) by assisting, facilitating, enabling and empowering others. Happiness is in sharing, in co-operation and in symbiotic growth. Fear dissipates as there is tremendous security in the goodwill and trust of others, which feeds itself in a virtuous cycle. A great example of this in action on Steemit is @fulltimegeek's unconditional delegation of SP to others - no fees, no drama, no ulterior motive, just do it! The beneficiaries of FTG's delegations use their delegated 'power' to empower others in an exponentially uplifting cycle of enrichment (in all senses) which just spreads and spreads through the undeniable joy experienced by those it touches, FTG included!
We all - each of us, is RICH in this non-material manner. We 'already are!!' We can share the bounty we already have - and no money is even required :). EVERYTHING else flows in return. To chase, to beg, to scheme, to be jealous etc is to engage with the energy of scarcity and to ensure that one remains in fear, anger, misery etc. It may be a question of perspective alone - challenge it, change it and miracles happen! One of the hidden secrets of the universe seems to be that if you want something, give it away first. There is an apparent paradox here, for you cannot give what you do not have, yet we NEVER have nothing - this ought to be pretty clear if one goes into it for oneself with sincerity, honesty and integrity! It's a pretty MAJOR undertaking actually, to walk the breathtaking path of the new-paradigm :)

Wealth is one of the mindset that we are having very near to us or we can say very close to we people.
If i will be rich then my thinking will never be rich it will be normal as now i am thinking because of my today's thinking i was being rich someday then why should we act like rich people.
Because rich people never eat pani-puri at roadside and i love to do it so my point of view is different i will just think like a normal people because this friends and the surrounding in which i am living today i can never forget those people who are something for me today. Lifestyle can be change but the happiness i will be getting only if i have my friends with me.

Many of us see rich people suddenly, usually do not last long owned wealth. If I am given wealth I will use my wealth carefully. I will do some small business to strengthen my finances and wealth. after my business runs smoothly I will do a medium-sized business. I know that wealth is not eternal. life is like a wheel. will always spin. Today we are rich not necessarily tomorrow we are still rich. So I will strengthen my finances if I am given wealth. And do not forget to do charity activities to help others or poor people. that's the answer I can give. thanks

I have the idea that if I have money, it's better if the money is played. Well one way is by entrepreneurship. My imagination about entrepreneurship has been since middle school. I used to dream that in the future I would have a cafe business, book stores, and car rentals. I have an interest in these three areas. But the more here I am more aware that the field is now less productive. Many internet cafes are closed, newspaper stalls are getting rarer, bookstores will lose to gramedia, car rentals have a lot of risks.
