Here’s the Part (6): Enjoy!
Rule Number 16. The Most Important Commodity on Planet Earth is INTEGRITY!
One definition of integrity says that it is “the state of being whole, undivided” what a deep truth! The state, not a state! Not a one-off, but a continuous flow! Remember, united you stand divide you fall!. Integrity keeps a man whole – united in body soul and spirit. It is a lot easier to make a success in this state than in a divided state. Another definition of integrity states that it is “the quality of being honest…” you sure know that honesty is the best policy! Sadly, people with genuine integrity are now scarce to find, men and women even in high offices will break their word on a whim. But if you desire to make global impact and leave lasting results, then make integrity your number one watchword!
Rule Number 17. Delayed Gratification
You hardly hear those two words these days but those are two very precious words indeed! Delayed gratification simply invokes the art of sacrifice. It means that to make it to the very top – you should work when others are playing, study when others are sleeping, prepare when others are playing and pray when others are gossiping! Delay today’s enjoyment, so you can enjoy more tomorrow, this concept is really useful in the area of savings and investment, and is also applicable in many more areas that lead to success. So when you earn, keep, before you spend. Allocate money after you receive it, not before. Give every dime a purpose and stick with the plan!
Rule Number 18. No Man Becomes a Fool Until He Stops Asking Questions
Be super informed! Information breeds knowledge, knowledge is power, power is synonymous with wealth! Keep asking questions. Put you mind to work in the area of critical thinking. There is an answer out there – your job is to find it. I tend to think of the world as one huge garden of answers, our primarily role here is to find these answers and match them to problems – like solving a gigantic puzzle. Problem solving is one basic way of making and keeping wealth, finding answers lead primarily to problem solving.
