Money Got 4 "legs"...we only have 2 legs
In modern society, most of us work really hard for money. Whatever we do, money always will be one of our consideration. As I mentioned in earlier blog, welcome to the "Capitalism Matrix", you are plugged into the Monetary System. There's one chinese proverb saying, "Money is not everything; but without it we can't do anything."
Therefore, most of us chasing after the money and see how much we can earn. Our friends normally will said, this job and that job can earn better income, go work for it. And then, we'll just do it for the sake of more money, thinking it will bring better future. Finally, we'll lost ourself or our soul, no longer knowing what we are good at or interested in.
In one seminar I've attended, the chinese speaker mention that, "Don't chase after Money, you'll never get a hold of it, cause money got 4 legs. (Corners of paper money, has the same pronounciation as Legs in Chinese); and we only have 2 legs.", "we need to attract money instead, we needed to evaluate where to money will flow, and become an money magnet."
After that, I started to see things from different dimension. Instead of thinking how to get more money, I started to study, why some people get more money then the others, and what has they been doing different. Are they the creator or are they a follower.
At last, it lead me to study Human Needs, and understanding of ourselves as a human being. Why we do what we do, and how to attract people to do what we want... etc
What do you think? Do you have the same feeling like me? Please leave some comments for me, thanks...

soul nourishment does seem to be neglected nowadays. i think the best solution is to have a soul nourishing job... in that case, u will never work a single day. but society doesn't place such a high value on them. hence less monetary rewards. the trick is to find the balance. and to find the balance, u have to understand yourself.. what level of balance u want.

Only those who seek will found. We can only attract people and inspire them to seek for wisdom of life.
Monetary rewards on transfering wisdom is really great only if you have master the power of marketting.
The seminar i have attended all come not less than RM3,000/pax. You see the reward?
