How to be rich?

I think you had heard people asking - how to be rich? And of cause different people tend to have different answers.

I often heard people saying that they will be rich if they won the lottery, or probably when the stock they have shoot up like a rocket. Well, i do think they might be considered as rich when they have the amount of money on hand, but i don't think they will be able to sustain the wealth they have.

When you think you will only get rich by winning a lottery, high chances you would not be rich unless you won a lottery. Even when they won the lottery, end up they will turn out to be poorer than they were after 10 years. It is due to the poor mindset they have

So the key to be rich is the mindset, you need to have a rich mindset before you ready to be rich. People tend to don't understand this, and believing that they will be rich when they have a lot of money in the bank or staying in a big house which they consider as an asset. Rich will not happy when they see lots of money in the bank, and they will not consider the big house they are staying is an asset.

This are all due to the different mindset, you will never be rich if you still having the poor mindset. To have a rich mindset, is a long story, and i will be keep sharing this kind of topic.

One book that i would recommend on this topic is the Rich Dad Poor Dad, which i think some of you might had read before as it is New York Times best seller. I personally think that this book is inspiring and guide you to see the way of becoming rich in a different way.

Welcome to my blog!

I'm a Malaysian that currently staying at Penang, and going to be 30 very soon, which is the age people start to think where will they heading in the next 10 or 20 years. My hobby is reading, i read a lot of books related to investment, self motivation & health. Besides working as an engineer, i did involved myself in the investment activities. My friend that know me well will know my character is kind of optimistic, and kind of funny. :)

Initially, i'd started another blog for investment especially on stock market. After i started a while, i think of something very important other than wealth, which is health. Both words are similar just the first letter is different, and according to the sequence, health come first followed by wealth. Sometimes, you will hear people saying health is wealth.

I'm seeing that most of my friends that neglecting their health and working hard for the company. So for them, in order to chase the 'wealth' (paycheck), they are putting away their health, which i don't think it is the life that they should be having. They are a good hardworking man, and they deserve a better life. 

This is the main reason i started this blog, to share what i'd learned about health & wealth. Why don't we have the health and wealth together?

I welcome those who is care about their health, also those who interested to find out ways of building their wealthiness. While you are reading my blog, feel free to leave any comments or questions, also pls email me (danielong1982@yahoo.com)  if you think it is not suitable to be published.
