Dear All,

There are those who believes that to live a successful life one must struggle to gain material possessions. And a great number of people today are really struggling to make money. One expression that we hear often in this country is: ‘Chief so and so is successful businessman’, or Mr. so so has made it. Don’t get me wrong, some make money through means, and others through foul means.

Many public officers and private individuals the world today live as if their only reason for existence is to acquire very much property which will serve them as a bulwark of security in their old age, much less enjoy the so-called fruits of their labours.

Although a person needs a sufficient amount of materials possessions with which to enjoy a good measure of happy life, yet there is always the danger that such a person may be so much preoccupied with how much he will get, receive, make, and possess that he may ultimately justify whatever means he employs to archive his goal.
He may then live for his own personal enjoyment and for his earthly glory but for no values. In our world today, many of our contemporaries live as if the amount of material things of life they possess determines their success in life.

Our newspapers are full of stories of people whose honour, names and respect have been destroyed because they were found guilty of robbery, murder, kidnapping or dealing with shady business as way of hitting the top ladder of importance in our society or means of being considered among those who ‘have made it’ in life.

There are those who use the work they do as the yardstick for measuring their success in life, but this should not be so, we must see our work as service to be performed to man and creator (God). If we go to work with and altitude, not a service, but of the acquisition of money as the primary aim in life for our own benefit without thought of helping others, then we have a wrong criterion for a society lives.

∆ what you impact on others speak forever, and if you chose to be selfish in your doing, your reward may likely be zero.∆

If someone is successful in life and achieve a lot of merits in any area that will for sure generate wealth. If the person gets corrupted because of it is a separate issue

Money comes from success and sometimes backwards
