Embrace life’s full potential!
Steve Jobs’ last words remind us that money isn’t the answer to everything, and that it is good to take time to think about what is really important in our lives and makes us truly happy. We’re here at Beyond Finance to help give you the time and space to do just that… to embrace life’s full potential!
“I have reached the height of success in the world of business. My life is a success in the eyes of others.
However, work aside, I did enjoy little.
In the end, wealth is just a fact I’m used to.
At this moment, lying in my hospital bed, reminiscing about my life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth in which I took so much pride has faded and become insignificant in the face of impending death.
You can hire someone to drive your car or make money for you, but you can’t hire someone to endure illness and die for you.
Lost material things can be found again. But there is one thing that can never be found when it’s lost: Life.
Whatever stage of life we are currently in, with time we will face the day the curtain closes.
Love your family, spouse, children and friends… Treat them right. Cherish them.
- As we get older, and wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a watch that costs $300 or $30, both give the same time
- Whether we have a $300 or $30 wallet or purse, the amount inside is the same.
- Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and distance are the same, and we reach the same destination.
- Whether we drink a $1,000 bottle of wine or $10, the hangover is the same.
- Whether the house in which we live is 100 or 1,000 square meters, the loneliness is the same.
You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come from material things of this world.
Whether you travel first class or economy class, if the plane breaks down, you will go down with it…
Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have friends, brothers and sisters, with whom you chat, laugh, talk, sing, talk about north-south-east or heaven and earth… This is the real happiness!!
An undisputed fact of life:
Don’t educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. When they grow up they will know the value of things not the price.”
