The richest man in Babylon review – How I Interpreted the story
I really enjoyed reading the richest man in Babylon. What I got out of the story was intelligent investing pays off, another lesson I learned is that in order to be rich you have to want to be rich. Not only that but you have to understand how wealth works. Becoming rich doesn’t happen overnight and even if you win the lottery or come into a sudden windfall of cash it doesn’t mean that you will be a rich person.
A person cannot become a Doctor over night that person needs to study and be trained; the same laws apply when it comes to wealth. If you can’t teach a person how to become rich step by step I personally don’t think you yourself are rich no matter how much money you have. To understand what I mean think about when you started a job and you we’re being trained by someone, in order for that person to train you that person had to have been trained not only that but that person most likely needed some form experience to train you on that position. The same thing reigns true when it comes to becoming wealthy.
You need a coach and you need someone with experience to guide you to the path of Riches. Someone like Warren Buffet could qualify for this position, maybe for you becoming wealthy is as simple as following Warren Buffet or reading all of his books and watching how he invests his money. The truth is however that most people are not interested becoming Rich most people are interested in making a lot of money but being Rich and wealthy is not just about the money it’s understanding how wealth works.
You have to know where to find wealth you need to know what wealth is because if you don’t and you make a lot of money you’ll just be a high paid employee. In the story the richest man in Babylon the character Arkad’s problems stemmed from the way how he chose to spend his money. The lesson I learned from the character Arkad is if you spend your money foolishly you’re basically an employee to everyone which will keep you poor. Algamish taught Arkad how to spend/Invest his money wisely which is basically how Arkad became wealthy and wise. It’s a simple concept that most people will never grasp in their lifetime unfortunately because most people want to only live for today.
In closing the richest man in Babylon is great book for anyone who truly desires to become rich. Please share your thoughts below.
