Here's something from the other book I'm reading, Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin:
". . .the difference between prosperity and poverty lies simply in our degree of gratitude."
This book came out in 1992. It's a how-to guide for managing money with frugality. You can almost hear Henry David Thoureau cheering in the background as the authors write about living deliberately, and rejecting the current economic trend of "more is better" in favor of following a different drummer. They teach financial intelligence, integrity and independence.
Fun with numbers

I prefer the revenue side of the prosperity equation over the expense side. However, perhaps prosperity is comprehending both sides, and, once comprehended, acting in accordance with happiness, which includes gratitude.
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly a timely choice of books. I enjoy self-help books a lot. They exercise my imagination even more than fiction. Of course reading them while intending to follow their advice is no fun at all. I prefer the revenue too, David. Doesn't everybody?
