Laws of Money 💰
🤔 Choice
The essence is simple: every person chooses for themselves whether to be rich or not. We create hundreds of beliefs that limit ourselves - we don't believe in our abilities or the opportunities around us, even though we consider ourselves smart enough.
🧠 Capital
This is not about money. True capital is your ability to earn. The amount you receive today is a measure of how well you have developed your ability to make money. Increase your personal value, develop your abilities and skills. Strive to work not more, but BETTER. The best investment is an investment in yourself.
📈 Perspective
When making financial decisions, calculate your steps ahead. In other words, when starting a new business or project, it is foolish to count on quick profits. Even if your income is small now, but your business can potentially increase it by tens or even hundreds of times in the future - be patient and stick to your plan. Rich people always look to the future.
🏦 Savings
Always save 10% of your income. At first glance, it may seem too much, and life situations can vary – debts, unforeseen major expenses, too small income, etc. If 10% is too large an amount for you, start with at least 1%. Then, after a certain period, start saving 2 or 3% and gradually increase it to 10%. This money is your financial reserve, which will allow you to feel relatively safe.
🤑 Investments
One of the most important money laws. Never be in a hurry to part with your money and, before investing, thoroughly study the business you are planning to invest in. Money, in a sense, is a part of your life because you spent a certain amount of time earning it. Is it worth treating the results of your labor carelessly?
Always ask yourself: what will happen if you lose everything you plan to invest? If this loss would be painful for you, it is wiser to decline such an investment, as it's better to keep what you have than to lose what you've earned.

Thoughts of the Rich 💰
1️⃣ Selfishness - a virtue
Ordinary people might have a desire to save the whole world or put other people ahead of themselves, and this doesn't allow them to become wealthy. Rich people think along these lines: "I won't be able to help others if I don't help myself first."
2️⃣ "Action-oriented" thinking
You will hardly meet a wealthy person in line for a lottery ticket (even before they became rich). An ordinary person waits for someone else to help them become rich – the lottery, the government, a friend, or a spouse. And they remain poor. The wealthy take specific actions and spend time solving concrete tasks.
3️⃣ Practical knowledge, even at the expense of formal education
The average person is convinced that the path to wealth lies through diplomas and dissertations. The rich make money by selling their specific knowledge, which they acquired by doing business.

A Donkey and a Well
One day, a donkey fell into a well and began to cry out loudly for help. Hearing his cries, the donkey's owner rushed over but threw up his hands, as it was impossible to pull the donkey out of the well.
Then the owner reasoned like this: "My donkey is already old, and he doesn't have much time left, and I wanted to buy a new, younger donkey anyway. This well has already dried up, and I've been wanting to fill it in and dig a new one for a long time. So why not kill two birds with one stone - I'll fill in the old well and bury the donkey at the same time."
Without thinking long, he invited his neighbors - they all took shovels and began to throw dirt into the well. The donkey immediately understood the situation and started to cry out loudly, but people ignored his cries and silently continued to throw dirt into the well.
However, the donkey soon fell silent. When the owner looked into the well, he saw the following scene - with every piece of dirt that fell on the donkey's back, he would shake it off and stomp it down with his hooves. After some time, to everyone's surprise, the donkey found himself at the top and jumped out of the well!
Perhaps in your life, you have experienced many different troubles, and in the future, life will continue to send you new ones. Each time you face another challenge, remember that you can shake it off and, thanks to that challenge, rise a little higher. In this way, you will gradually be able to climb out of even the deepest well.

How to choose a teacher
The parents chose the best teacher for their son. In the morning, the grandfather took his grandson to school. When the grandfather and grandson entered the yard, they were surrounded by children.
"What a funny old man," one boy laughed. "Hey, little chubby," another made a face.
The children shouted and jumped around the grandfather and grandson. Then the teacher rang the bell, announcing the start of the lesson, and the children ran away.
The grandfather firmly took his grandson's hand and went out onto the street.
"Hooray, I won't go to school," the boy rejoiced.
"You will, but not to this one," the grandfather angrily replied. "I will find you a school myself."
The grandfather took his grandson to his house, entrusted him to the care of his grandmother, and went to look for a better teacher.
Seeing a school, the grandfather would enter the yard and wait for the teacher to let the children out for a break. In some schools, the children paid no attention to the old man, in others, they teased him.
The grandfather silently turned and left. Finally, he entered the tiny yard of a small school and leaned against the fence, tired.
The bell rang, and the children poured into the yard.
"Grandpa, are you feeling bad, do you need some water?" a little voice asked. "We have a bench in our yard, please sit down," one boy offered.
"Do you want me to call the teacher?" another child asked.
Soon, a young teacher came out into the yard.
The grandfather greeted him and said:
"I have finally found the best school for my grandson."
"You are mistaken, grandpa, our school is not the best. It's small and cramped."
The old man didn't argue. He made arrangements with the teacher and left.
In the evening, the boy's mother asked the grandfather:
"Father, why do you think you found the best teacher?"
"You know the teachers by their students," the grandfather replied.

Five important qualities. Be like a pencil ✍️
A little boy watches his grandmother write a letter and asks:
"Are you writing about me?"
The grandmother stops writing, smiles, and tells her grandson:
"You guessed it, I'm writing about you. But what's more important is not what I'm writing, but what I'm writing with. I would like you to become like this pencil when you grow up..."
The little boy looks at the pencil with curiosity but doesn't see anything special.
"It's just like all the other pencils!"
"It all depends on how you look at things. This pencil has five qualities you need if you want to live your life in harmony with the world.
Firstly: you can be a genius, but you should never forget the existence of the Guiding Hand. We call this hand a Higher Power. Trust this power and learn to feel it.
Secondly: to write, I have to sharpen the pencil. This operation is a little painful for it, but after that, the pencil writes more finely. Therefore, learn to endure pain, remembering that it refines you.
Thirdly: if you use the pencil, you can always erase what you think is wrong with the eraser. Remember, correcting yourself is not always bad. Often, it's the only way to stay on the right path.
Fourthly: what matters in a pencil is not the wood it's made of or its shape, but the graphite inside. So always think about what's going on inside you.
And finally, fifthly: the pencil always leaves a trail behind. You also leave traces with your actions, so think carefully about each step you take."

Professor and a Glass of Water
The professor took a glass of water in his hands, stretched it out in front of him, and asked his students:
"What do you think, how much does this glass weigh?"
There was a lively buzz in the classroom...
"About 200 grams! No, 300 grams, perhaps! Or even all 500!" answers began to be heard.
"I really won't know for sure until I weigh it. But right now, that's not necessary. My question is this: what will happen if I keep holding this glass for a few minutes?"
"Nothing!"
"Indeed, nothing terrible will happen," the professor replied.
"And what if I hold this glass in my outstretched hand for, say, two hours?"
"Your hand will start to hurt."
"And if it's for the whole day?"
"Your hand will go numb, you'll have severe muscle dysfunction and paralysis. You might even have to go to the hospital," said one of the students.
"In your opinion, will the weight of the glass change just because I hold it all day?"
"No!" the students replied, puzzled.
"And what needs to be done to fix all this?"
"Just put the glass on the table!" cheerfully said one student.
"Exactly!" the professor joyfully replied. "This is how it is with all life's difficulties. Think about a problem for a few minutes, and it will be right next to you. Think about it for a few hours, and it will start to consume you."
If you think about it all day, it will paralyze you.
You can think about the problem, but usually, it leads nowhere. Its "weight" will not decrease.
Only action allows you to cope with the problem. Solve it or set it aside. There is no point in carrying heavy stones in your soul that paralyze you.

10. The most powerful manipulations
There are ways that influence a person's emotional sphere. It is strongly recommended to use them only in extreme cases and not with close people whose relationships are valuable and important.
Appealing to pity. Strangely enough, the victim often turns out to be the most powerful manipulator. By provoking aggression, they subsequently evoke pity and guilt in the tyrant and aggressor, which must be urgently redeemed. 🙏
Anger. People may make any concessions just to get a significant person to stop being angry. 😡
Anxiety and restlessness due to silence. You've probably encountered a boycott at least once in your life or organized one yourself. Deliberately ignoring another person is a very powerful weapon. They will want it to stop. 🤐
Manipulation with hope or love. I think no explanation is needed here. 💍
Vanity or shame. This is especially effective with people who are susceptible to flattery and seek recognition. Due to internal insecurity and immaturity, they may take risks upon hearing the provocative phrase "Are you too weak?" 💪
I hope you will not manipulate others for selfish purposes, but will use the knowledge gained to protect yourself from manipulation! ❤️
