Remember: The Turtle Wins The Race!




"Money gained quickly will vanish as quickly; money earned little by little will increase." - Proverbs


We've been told this story before. The fastest is not always the winner at the end. Talking about races--- on the tracks, in the office, or life, the most intelligent or most popular may not finish it great.

Let us focus most especially in our race for the money! How many jobs do most people hold or how long do people keep at on their jobs just to get enough of the seeming increasing need for money. What does the financial market offer? There are many 'other options' attracting the daring investor inside of us. You can name them; I don't have to. These possible sources of secondary income streams must be evaluated or one will fall into the trap of schemers.

To determine which income generating opportunities to participate, the wisest King Solomon has already given us a clue. Translating this clue into modern day language reads:

"Avoid get-rich-quick schemes.They'll be here today, gone with your money tomorrow. Go for that which builds up little by little, increasing your personal capacity daily to hold big money tomorrow. Start with something small which you can work on to become bigtime. "

In the end, it is not about a race of time but a race to how well we finish this one life we live. Slow but steady wins the race.
