Man O Man !
When he is without money, he eats vegetables at home;
When he has money, he eats vegetables in a fine restaurant.
When he is without money, he rides bicycle to work;
When he has money, he rides bicycle to exercise.
When he is without money, he walks to eat food;
When he has money, he walks to burn food.
When he is without money, he wishes to get married;
When he has money, he wishes to get divorced.
When he is without money, he acts like a rich man;
When he has money, he acts like a pauper.
He says share market is bad but he keeps on speculating;
He says money is evil but he keeps on craving for it.
He says high positions are risky but he keeps on struggling for it;
He says gambling & drinking is bad but he keeps on indulging in it.
Man O Man !
Be content with whatever you have
And thank God for whatever you have
Human beings with insatiable characters and minds.
May Allah guide us aright.
Really true picture of the humanbeings.
“Being content with whatever we have” is a MAJOR key for Happiness !
By the way , what about Woman and Money ???
Can you add a stanza about it Mansour?
I will try
NOT GOLD BUT ONLY MEN CAN MAKE; A PEOPLE GREAT AND STRONG.
MEN WHO FOR TRUTH AND HONOR’S SAKE,
STAND FAST AND SUFFER LONG.
LIVES OF ALL GREAT MEN REMIND US;
WE CAN MAKE OUR LIVES SUBLIME
AND DEPARTING BEHIND US
FOOTPRINTS ON THE SAND OF TIME
…………
(taken from ”PSALM OF LIFE” – BY HENRY WORDSORTH
Chinese wisdom.No wonder they are practical and successful.
How so very true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Truly Man is a Bundle of Contradictions and such an ungrateful creature of Allah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May Allah always make us move on the Straight Path. Amen.
You are right brother. Secrets of richness is ‘contentment’.
its our nature … to be content means just living in caves n never moving forward … necessary thing is to have balance between want n have …
money is every thing for some people. but not for every one. with money we can buy every thing every comfort but not the comfot of heven. accually money is nothing.
Rightly said.
life with out money is like relationship out the window.. what can we say.
id say most are true lol

thanks nd its a reminder for all of us! Alhamdulillah for everything! 🙂
Why would he wish to get divorced if he has money? :O

Does love become worth less because of money?
