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 ...
1. One’s will shouldn’t be applied to anyone outside oneself
ReplyDelete2. One’s will shouldn’t be applied to get things done
3. One’s will should only be used on one’s self to focus on oneself, to guide one’s thoughts to positive things, to being rich
Great
DeleteMy thoughts from dr uzoma
ReplyDeleteI will apply my will to my self
I will guide my will to things that makes me focused on getting rich
I will guide my will to positive things that makes me live a life of abundance. Thank you sir
You have the power to guide your will to get what you want
DeleteThe will power has got great influence on ones ability to create riches and wealth when used in a positive way; by using the will power to act on oneself.
ReplyDeleteDo not be compassionate to poverty; for that which one focuses their mind on is creation of its reality.
Do not use your will power for shortcuts, or to shortchange others, cause things to be, cause people to conform to certain principle; for you will be doing this against the formless substance from which All things are made.
Truly said
Delete1. Riches come only when you use your will power on yourself through creative inspirations.
ReplyDelete2. When you know what to think and do them you use your will power to hold yourself in the right course and keep yourself thinking and acting in the certain way.
3. You become rich by creation and not by competition and the more steady and continuous your faith and purpose the more rapidly you'll get rich.
"You become rich by creation and not by competition"

ReplyDeleteWill power is very important in becoming rich. Ensure that your will is focused on positive things. You can't be rich when you think of poverty. Let your faith be strong and always be focused.
DR.DENNIS EKWEDIKE: The positive use of the willpower is critical to getting rich. However,it is very wrong to use willpower to manipulate people.The poor needs inspiration to come out of misery and not charity !
DeleteThe most important aspect of this chapter to me is the use of WILLPOWER.
ReplyDeleteThat the positive use of WILLPOWER on oneself is the best to achieve riches, not to be used as influence on others without their conscience.
That the best way to help the poor is not to give them handouts, it is to teach them how to get out of poverty by showing them how to behave in certain ways in order to be rich on their own.

ReplyDeleteTo get rich, I have no business thinking about poverty. I must have the will power that would guide me to get rich. The only way I can help the poor is to get rich and not to wallow in pity for them.
ReplyDeleteGreat

ReplyDeleteMindset is a veritable tool in getting rich. Fixing ones mind positively on the formless substance is wealth in motion.
Don't pity poverty by providing charity which ordinarily cannot take one out of poverty rather give inspiration to the poor through acts by getting rich.
Don't think poverty nor reflect on it. Concentrate your vision on how to become rich, associate with personalities with same drive and get along.
Poverty is a cause, riches are blessings to humanity
A great summary here Ben
DeleteKeep it up
1. I don't have to use my will power to coerce people or things, rather I should use my will power on myself.
ReplyDelete2. Things are not brought about by thinking on what you want.
3. I must fix my attention consistently on what I want without allowing doubt.

ReplyDeleteThe more stable and continuous your faith is, the more the likelihood that you will become rich. Avoid excessive worry. Belief in God who begets not, nor was He begotten is all important.
worrying solves no problems
DeleteWill power must not be misused in mentally forcing people to go your biddings
ReplyDeleteYour will power should be used only on yourself to get you to think and do that which is right according to supreme intelligence.
Use your mind to prepare a mental image of anything you want and use faith and purpose to hold it firm in your mind
Great
DeleteDo not force your will on others.
ReplyDeleteCharity will not lift the poor from poverty but inspiring them will bring them into riches.
Do not think of poverty but riches. Form a mental picture of wealth and abundance.
Wisdom Ozegbe.
The poor does not sympathy
DeleteThe poor needs empathy
When using one's will one should not seek to control others or to make them his slave but one should enforce his will upon himself, to discipline himself. The certain way to get riches is to form a mental image and impress it upon the formless substance to go to work on one's image. One must also exercise faith by all means and refrain from giving in to any doubt or anything contrary. Truly what tends to do away with poverty is not getting pictures of poverty into one's mind but getting pictures of wealth into the minds of the poor.

Get the pictures of wealth and abundance into the minds of the poor - that is the cure to poverty
DeleteAgreed

ReplyDeleteDo not apply your will power outside yourself so do not compel people to do things for you even for the person's good.
Faith and purpose start movement of things (desire) towards you while doubt and fear start the movement away from you.
Things are not brought into being by studying the opposite, the poor do not need charity, they need inspiration and people must be taught to become rich by creation and not by competition.
Nobody becomes rich by studying poverty - agreed
Delete1. Doubts moves things away from us while faith moves things close to us..
ReplyDelete2. If you want to help the poor, demonstrate to them that they too can become rich, prove it by getting rich yourself.
3. You have no right to use your will power for another person even for his own good, for you do not know what is good.
4. Use your will to keep your mind working in a certain way and the right way.

nobody knows what is good for another for we do not see the person's mind

ReplyDeleteTo get rich, you need to use your will power upon yourself. When u know what to think and do, you must compelled yourself to do them.
The more steady and continuous your purpose is, the more rapidly you get rich.
Doubt, fear, unbelief, worry set you gradually away from your formless substance.
