Greetings All,
Recently, I read another great book about financial achievement. This book is actually quite old but the old stories in this book has so much great value. The principles used during the days in old Babylon are actually being used by many millionaires & billionaires nowadays.
This book,”The Richest Man In Babylon” is written by George S. Clason in 1926. Yeah, it is that old but still cannot compare with the stories written by him which is 6000 years ago. For your information, this book was a best seller in the world which sold more than 2 million copies. AMAZING!
Well, this book shows you how rich people in ancient Babylon become rich & the city of rich people. This book consist of secrets to being wealthy using a simple yet forgotten principles in finance management. I learned a useful tips in getting wealth. I shall write some quotes taken from the book.
Quotes from “The Richest Man in Babylon”
“Money is the medium by which earthly success is measured”,
“Money makes possible the enjoyment of the best the earth affords”,
“Money is plentiful for those who understand the simple laws which govern its acquisition”
The simple rules of its acquisition
1- Start thy purse to fattening
2-Control thy expenditures
3-Make thy gold multiply
4-Guard thy treasures from loss
5-Make of thy dwelling a profitable investment
6-Insure a future income
7-Increase thy ability to earn,
“Money is governed today by the same laws which controlled it when prosperous men thronged the streets of Babylon, six thousand years ago.”
There are other rules or laws in the book that is wise to follow even in our current modern world. The book tells us about the 5 laws of Gold, the 7 cures for a lean purse & many more like how to invest properly & making sure our investment is guarded & safe. There are many stuffs that we overlook today. This book did share the basic concept of creating wealth by using the simplest principles in money making.
It is a simple book to read & I shall read it again & again. This book can be found in most national libraries in Singapore. Go & borrow it & read it. I recommend you do read it. You won’t regret it. However, don’t be surprise if the book is rented out most of time.
Initially I was looking for this book high & low at every library in Singapore but could not get it because it was rented out. I ended up buying it at Brash Basah for $13.50 SGD. Hahaha. At least now I can keep it forever & give it to my children to read when they grow up. It is a good book for those who just started working!
If you are not in Singapore you can buy it at amazon or bookstore in your country. Click the graphic below to get it now.. You can get it new or used. Doesn’t matter because the contents still the same.
