I want to talk to you about something that has been absolutely essential on my path to success… That something is meditation.

Awareness of a problem is halfway to its solution. Not so with new year's resolution. Every year, people are told to list things they want to do (or get rid of). Commonly listed are: 1. Dieting. Eat much during Christmas and New Year's eve and start dieting first day of the year. Better said (or listed) than done. 2. Save money. Splurge on the holiday buys and start saving the the new year unfolds. In most cases, the one concerned is insolvent at the start of the year, having spent the last centavo for the two consecutive celebrations. 3. Changing one's bad habits. Doing it is as hard as a camel enters the eye of a needle. So what's new and what is there to start with? They say the procrastination is "putting off for tomorrow what one can do today."

The book,"The Richest Man in Babylon"written by George Clason was written with ancient Babylon as it's setting. It tells of a man named Arkad, who was regarded as the richest man in Babylon. I found  this book so outstanding in simplifying issues related to the most sought-after, but often misunderstood subject-money. Like any man seeking perfection amidst his imperfections, Arkad learned how to grow wealth through many life lessons, sometimes painful ones that later on made him a wise warden of the treasures of that ancient kingdom . Arkad offers "seven cures  for a lean purse (or wallet, in the modern sense.)  The following were Arkad's seven cures: The First Cure - Start Thy Purse to Fattening A fat purse is simply, a full purse. Arkad simply emphasized that we must save a portion of what we earn so our purse, or wallet, can fatten.  He illustrated that one must save one tenths of what we earn, or simply put one egg out of ten eggs must be s...
