Who does not want to be succes? Who doesn't want to get rich quick? Since thousands of years ago humans have tried to improve happiness and life success, one of which is to try to be rich.
Well, being wealthy is tempting to many people. While there are those who have to be corrupt in order to satisfy their 'thirst' to become rich. In fact, if we just want to, honestly will discuss all about it, we will find that it is not always rich which is related to the many possessions that we have. Wealth does not always talk about money.
Happiness, health, many friends, getting awards, and many more are forms of wealth that we can get from our money, nothing more than close neighbors of our poor homes, for example, so today we will learn together about the fast way to get rich and successful versions of what I understand and believe, hopefully you can guarantee it too. If we think we are already in the same channel, we can easily jump at a time, and I will treat you to the fresh Medan Jumbo Shrimp, or the famous Cakalang Fufu Manado throughout the universe. Ha ha ha...
What are the seven steps to get rich quick? This is it. You can take notes in your heart, keep this in your heart, because money can be stolen by someone, your handwritten paper can be stolen by someone, but what is in your heart cannot be stolen.
1. Grateful in All Things
People who know how to give thanks in all things are actually the richest people on this earth. There are philosophers who say that the poorest people in the world are those who have nothing in their lives other than money.
We know together that the Indonesian people have inherited the culture or thank you. In America it is also the same, which is almost anything we always thank. Even though we have been cursed and cursed, still with our beautiful mouth we can say "thank you". This is the greatest wealth of the nation who knows how to thank you.
Well, thanking humans is easy, even too easy. So in America there, the most used or mentioned word is Thanks (thank you). Same, in Indonesia it could also be the word that is most often said is "thank you". Then if so what is still so difficult to do? The answer is grateful. We must convey this to HIM who deserves our thanksgiving.
Yes, thank God for everything we have and experience. Just to believe that is an easy matter, but entrusting ourselves to God is difficult. If we believe that what HE is making of us is good, then we can certainly forgive for whatever we are going through, even if it is suffering.
Grateful in all things and with all our hearts is indeed not easy. But that is very important. Always thank God for who you are, and for what He has done. No matter how much the way of life you experience and live, then give thanks continue to Him.
2. Humility
Humility is the next step. Humility is different from inferiority, of course. If low self-esteem is insecure, embarrassed, not confident to do this and that, the main thing is nothing to be ashamed and feel unable or unable. While being humble is the attitude of accepting and listening to others. An attitude of respect for the older. Attitudes don't feel right themselves. Humility is the attitude of the heart that is far from arrogance and pride.
Only sick people need doctors, not healthy people. Well, it is dangerous for people who are sick but don't feel sick, or push themselves as if they will be healthy.
I had been spared helplessly because of my pride that ignored the advice of other people around me at that time. Do not want to listen to the opinions of others. Feel yourself know the most and most right. I just realized and felt slapped very hard with the fact that I was sick at the time. Regret is always coming later.
Likewise, you should never feel right and be busy blaming other people for anything. Don't feel that heaven belongs to yourself and the key is only you yourself, other people may not have it. It's dangerous if such attitudes are continually maintained.
3. Honest
Maybe this is a cliché word that for some people is trite. For me not. Because honesty will still be the key word for success and success. You will never stand tall if your efforts and hard work are built on the foundation of dishonesty. For whatever it is. How unfortunate is your life if you have a lot of money but it is obtained because of dishonesty for example.
Oliver Cromwell was a famous statesman from England, at one time the day he called a painter to describe himself. After the painting it appeared a very amazing painting. Suddenly Cromwell slammed the painting onto the floor. * "What you described is not me, let's paint the real Oliver Cromwell!"
What really happened? Apparently the painter removed the large wart on the face of the statesman. The painter thought Cromwell would be embarrassed if he also described the wart. Meanwhile Cromwell wanted an honest and true face painting. Not artificial face painting. As if. As if.
Sometimes in this life we try and try to cover up a lot of things. Not infrequently we also do not act honestly in many of these things. In the business world. In political battles. In completing studies. In our household. Even worse, very often we do not want to be honest with ourselves. We do not honestly see our abilities, so we are then trapped and fall into an attitude of imposing our will. Let me lose rice as long as we don't lose the action, said some people. We are not honest in many ways.
4. Do not worry and fear excessive
Fear and worry are actually very natural and very human. Nonsense when someone claims he has never felt fear and worry as long as he lives in this world. Precisely fear and worry is an alarm for us to keep introspective. Be aware of what will happen in front of us.
But worries if he overtakes then can transform into a chronic disease that can kill you slowly but surely. Every single second of this worry and worry, can reduce your life span by a split second. This fear of fear will also never be able to solve the problem.
There will never be any success that can be achieved in the circle and cries of worry and excessive fear. Courage and confidence in stepping steadily and looking forward to the future that must be inevitable in our lives. Don't we attribute what is absolute and then absolve what is relative.
Courage and self-confidence do not automatically eliminate fear or worry altogether. Absolutely not. That feeling will remain, but not those who control us but we who master all those feelings.
Someone once asked Mr. Yap Thiam Hien like this, "" Mr. Yap, what is the recipe so you are so brave? Have you ever been afraid? " Then what is the answer of Om Yap when asked like that? He replied calmly, "Don't get me wrong. I can also feel scared, often feel scared. I am an ordinary person. It's just that, if I know that I'm fighting for something greater than my own safety, I can overcome my fear ... "*
5. Faithful
Loyalty is a symbol of success. That was the belief of the ancient Greeks. But apparently, even modern humans continue to agree on this. Loyalty is the seeds of success and pride, as well as happiness that no human can ever reject.
Who among us does not want to get a faithful wife. Obtain a loyal husband. Children who are faithful for example. Even dogs, if necessary, will be looked for and educated in such a way as to become dogs that are truly loyal to their masters, such as a dog named Hachiko in Japan whose story has been filmed.
Any leader and anywhere is sure to want loyal subordinates or subordinates. The President always tries to choose ministers who are loyal or loyal to him. That's a common standard everywhere.
What is the reality today? Not many are loyal. Loyalty is an item that is increasingly rare and hard to find. It's very expensive.
President Nixon once broke ties with Taiwan because he wanted to tie diplomatic relations with the PRC. What did he say at that time? There is no permanent friend, there is only permanent interest. The eternal is only interest, there is no true friend. Solomon's Proverbs teaches us, "A friend puts love all the time, and becomes a brother in difficulty." Then we ask whether we find in this life such figures?
There are words that say blessed are those who are faithful to the end. Your struggle may still be long, but still be faithful starting from small matters. Loyalty in doing a small matter will allow you to later be loyal to a big matter.
6. Determine priorities
To do anything in this life, we should have priority. This life is a choice. And each choice is closely related to priority. One chooses, you can fail. Incorrect priority, you can also fail.
In whatever we do, there must be a priority scale.
In this era, people are competing to pursue productivity. What does it mean? Easily the breath of productivity is the effort of people to produce as much as possible in the shortest possible time. The key, all must be fast, sometimes forced to hurry too. In pursuing this, it finally makes us forget the priority scale.
In the past Darwin introduced what was termed the law of survival of the fittest, namely that the one who can survive is the strongest, now the law has changed, survival of the fastest, which is the fastest.
Well, whatever the demands of our time and work, I still strongly believe that determining priorities is not important for us to ignore. You want this or that first. You want to go to school or business. You want to enter politics or want to study first. Anyway, in all cases, first determine what your priorities are.
7. Be the best
I have a term when working in a team, we are not the first but we are the best. We are not the first, but we have passion and always try to always be the best. Tight competition is also a pioneer in the emergence of spirit in us to be the best.
Try to look at the beautiful words of the late Pak Tirto Utomo, * "If you want to do anything, try to be number one." * Be number one. Be the best! This is what can trigger us to always do what we think is good every day. To do what we think is best to do immediately.
So these days I always encourage my favorite team in this 2018 World Cup, Brazil and Germany, you have to be the best. Be the best by bringing home the World Cup. Ha ha ha…. Bravo!
