"...wisdom is far more valuable than gold."

Wow this looks like the punchline of the book. Namasir learned the hard way and sometimes that's the only way to learn. The basic laws of gold are true and can be applied to any precious thing we have. If I could be so bold as to sum them up in two words they would be "courage" and patience". Without courage we live a mundane life not investing the talent, time and money bestowed to us. We become slaves of fear and the immediate situation. As a result our life becomes fruitless.

Without patience we lose insight and grab everything that looks good or popular and soon lose energy and steam. If we are too quick to invest in too many things we lack wisdom and focus. We should be able to have standards, priority and identity.

Right of the bat can you name five things that are most important to you?

That is where your investment should be.
