The Science Of Getting Rich - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - The Right to Be Rich

Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.
No man can rise to his greatest possible
height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.
A man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money
in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich.
The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of
attaining.
Mans right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich.
In this book, I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way; to be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or contented with a
little. No man ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more.




The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.
The man who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich; and no man who has not plenty of
money can have all he wants. Life has advanced so far, and become so complex, that even the most ordinary man or woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even approaches completeness.
Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming.
This desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature; we cannot help wanting to be all that we can be.
Success in life is becoming what you want to be; you can become what you want to be only by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them.
To understand the science of getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge.
There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy.
The man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and so the man who does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is abnormal.
There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the threebody, mind, or soulcan live fully
if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.
It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or
soul.
We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body and denying both mind and soul; and we
see that real life means the complete expression of all that man can give forth through body, mind, and soul.
Whatever he can say, no man can be really happy or satisfied unless his body is living fully in every function, and unless the same is true of his mind and his soul.
Wherever there is unexpressed possibility,
or function not performed, there is unsatisfied desire.
Desire is possibility seeking expression, or function seeking performance.
Man cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and warm shelter; and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also necessary to his physical life
.He cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship.
To live fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations, and
must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating.
To live fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty.
A mans highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous
expression in giving. The man who has nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father, as a citizen, or as a man.
It is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of
supreme importance to him that he should be rich.
It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.

  2. True sucess and self fulfillment can never be achieved without being rich and whosoever decides to be contented with less is greedy in a way because he limits what he can do for others and for God also

  4. This chapter has tried to explain the biblical clause: "money answereth all things"
    They say health is wealth, and i think without wealth, health suffers too, so the two are interconnected.
    The most essential study is the study of getting rich? I think it's true, prospect of getting job with good pay is the major factor that determine our choice of course of study.

    In this chapter it is worthy to note that poverty is a sin. For one to be rich is by personal decision. Richness is not complete until the body, mind and soul is satisfied. Giving is rendering service to God and humanity.

    Getting rich is of great importance because in it a man finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul.

    The man who does not desire to live more abundantly and have money enough to buy all he wants is abnormal.

    Neglect of this study is invariably ignoring your duty to yourself, God and humanity

  17. DR. DENNIS EKWEDIKE: It is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. To be content with less is sinful.The three motives for which we live are for the body,mind and soul and each can not live fully in the absence of the others.

  18. A fulfilled and an accomplished life equates richness.
    Poverty and content in little is a sin; as you are not able to satisfy the body, soul and mind equally.
    Richness is the ability to satisfy the body, soul and mind of all their desires effortlessly.
    Richness is godliness and much be strived for by all normal human being; otherwise you are abnormal.

  19. Society is so organized that without money no one lives a full life.

    To subscribe to poverty is retrogressive. Wealth has important uses amongst which are the opportunity to achieve one's full potential. The desire for riches is natural.

  22. The desire to be rich is notmal as was said. It hjust means one desires to live a fuller life with many more comforts. Live is truly expressed in the presence of riches. It is better to be rich than to live in poverty. The wisdom of the poor man is despised.

    1. There are various routes to the Positive advancement of self and others therefore on each routes of destiny taken, there possibilities and wealth in them all. Then success comes when we become conscious of mind boggling creation, innovation, advancement by seeing opportunities lying bare on our way or routes when others are waiting or ignorant of such endowment on our routes.

The Richest Man In Babylon - Chapter 1

The Richest Man In Babylon By George S Clason Chapter 1 The Man Who Desired Gold Bansir, the chariot builder of Babylon, was thoroughly discouraged. From his seat upon the low wall surrounding his property, he gazed sadly at his simple home and the open workshop in which stood a partially completed chariot. His wife frequently appeared at the open door. Her furtive glances in his direction reminded him that the meal bag was almost empty and he should be at work finishing the chariot, hammering and hewing, polishing and painting, stretching taut the leather over the wheel rims, preparing it for delivery so he could collect from his wealthy customer. Nevertheless,' his fat, muscular body sat stolidly upon the wall. His slow mind was struggling patiently with a problem for which he could find no answer. The hot, tropical sun, so typical of this valley of the Euphrates, beat down upon him mercilessly. Beads of perspiration formed upon his brow
