AIR CLINIC WRITING CONTEST: The Richest man in Babylon.


source

Happiness they say comes with events. Nevertheless, what makes the events magical and memorial are the people in it.

For over 21 years now, I have carried a single mentality about money, earn-spend. Go to school, finish with good grades get a good job and then viola, make babies, retire, and then go and chill in the afterlife.

But as I grew, I saw my parents manage financially, work so much that I had no body to talk to when I started getting the morning wood calls or other transformations.
Well, I started feeling a hunger for something more than what my parent had. I was sound academically and I remember some notable academic medals to my name. However, I wanted something more.

At a point, i fount out through my primary school, secondary school and University days, it was all 7am to 4pm everyday. Now sticking to that routine all my life isn't something i wanted. i hate a programmed life.

I started looking for answers. I guess when you are searching for something; answers automatically come find you.
My financial sense was on the negative because I knew nothing about money. All my folks can testify to how I spend. Lol. You would think I got much more. Lol. Am not against charity, but prudence was lacking.

I met Ms. Faith Obienu, during my service year, 2016.
That was how she gave me this book, THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON by F.CLASON. Januray 25, 2017.
In a week, i was hungry for more books.
I was really hungry and am sure you know what comes with EUREKA.
My Happiest day was the day I opened the pages of THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON. That was the first book i read from back to back. It opened me to other books and my financial sense is not the same as 3 years ago.
You should read that book.
