Heard this today, seemed to fit this thread...

"The man who dies rich dies disgraced."
-- Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919)

Wow Voo!!!! It took me months to read it the first time LOL I would pause for days at every pause mark!!!
It was a truly life changing book for me ... perfect for anyone who has problems with brain noise! (ie, unnecessary thinking - constantly!)

Glad you are enjoying it ;-)

I am the type of person who has to read something a few times before it really starts sinking in, so right now I'm giving it the first run in order to get a broad overview.

And no HellPuppy, it ain't Mad magazine. hahaha

I can absolutely see how it would take months (or years) to read. I'm on total information overload right now...

I'll finish the first go this week, and then I'll take my time with it on the second try. That ought to keep me busy until January Internext or so...

So far it is an excellent book. Right on the money as far as I am concerned...

I think people that want to make money to make themselves happy are going to end up being disappointed. Some of the happiest people i know are barely able to pay the rent each week. On the other end of the spectrum, i know quite a few rich people who couldn't be happier, either. But i know a lot more wealthy people who are constantly stressed out and generally unhappy with their lives.

To me, making money isn't about happieness. It's about security and freedom.

And being happy based on whether someone you don't know thinks your car is cool or not? You'll never be happy until you deal with your serious self esteem issues, man.

PEARL - especially the Freedom part

chodadog · 05-25-2004

I forgot to mention that there are obviously plenty more people who are barely able to pay the rent that are just as stressed as their rich counterparts. The point basically being that if you look at people, you'll find happy and unhappy people at every economic level. Money has nothing to do with happiness. The sooner some people realise, the better off their lives will be.

some good stuff, this thread has tons of "pearl" style quotes.

i think my self esteem is fine, looking cool to people i've never met is something I like. some people like kitty cats and the smell of roses. I don't.

Ah Steve Grasshopper - you just don't get it ... yet

What might be slightly impressive (to me) is that you were able to buy the car yourself at 20something or 19

as far as being an impressive vehicle, see my above statements. It really isn't or anyone impressed by that car isn't worth impressing

Steve, here are some past "pearls" on this topic:

Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.
--Benjamin Franklin

By all means marry. If you get a good wife you will become happy, and if you get a bad one you will become a philosopher.
--Socrates (470-399 B.C.)

Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
--Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
--Tom Bodett

Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
--H. L. Mencken

The best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash There is no goal better than this one: to know as you lie on your deathbed that you lived your true life, and you did whatever made you happy.
--Steve Chandler 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself

And finally........................................... ...................

Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see a bird that has the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.
--Dale Carnegie

Pushpills, I've lived it more than you could ever even dream about - the details will be in the book

MY LIFE IN THE AUSTRALIAN PORN MAFIA

What you aim to be, I have been a part of. I've watched men who have achieved all the things you THINK you are capable of achieving spiral into a living nightmare because of the mindset 'more money and i will be happy'.

Its funny you used a Lamborghini as the example ... Serge sees why and so will many others here. You didn't choose this car because you like it, you choose it because its the most impressive to others. Why live your life trying to impress people you drive past on the freeway? Most of them will hate you because you have something they don't.

The only difference between you and Lasrado is that he actually hit $10 million ... you never will.

When I turned 25 I became so sick from the stress of trying reach material goals that I am STILL unable to live a normal life & have permanent damage I will be dealing with for the rest of my life. While you crap on about the future and shit you have no idea about, the rest of us are living LIFE - not living a movie.

Why I am wasting my breath I'll never know. I guess I hoped you could be slowed down before you crash ... but fuck ya, i hope you learn the hard way.

book? really? let us know when it comes out cause id love to read it.

if this was a joke, then excuse my blonde moment cause i didnt get it (clueless is my alter ego at times).

wow!

i think it's great that you are doing this and going all the way with having it published.

i will definitely be one of the first to buy it. although i never want to live another persons life, i find other intriguing and there is ALWAYS info that is helpful in bettering yourself as a person and looking for signs in regards to the mistakes you are either about to or may make.

good luck with that! i mean that sincerely.

Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to the money
Then you die
I'll take you down the only
Road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to
The places where all the veins meet, yeah

No change
I can change
I can change
I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can’t change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I’m on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that
Recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine
Let it cleanse my mind
I feel free now
But the airways are clean
And there’s nobody singing to me now

No change
I can change
I can change
I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change

Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money
Then you die
I’ll take you down the only
Road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to
The places where all the veins meet, yeah

You know I can change
I can change
I can change
I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I can’t change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
Can't change my body
No, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road 'Ive ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
