Friday night, chatting with a friend.
--“What kind of life do you really want Sherry?”
--“I want be a single rich woman!”
--“Wow! That won’t be easy.”
--“It’s not too difficult! See, today I’m single, so I’m already half done getting there, I just need to work hard, make money, and get rich!”
--“Why do you wanna be rich?”
--“Well, money is not the most important thing, but rich is always better!”
Maybe you will say: it’s not cute for a girl to talk about money; or, you guys in business care too much about money! Then I prefer to be “real” than “cute”.
“Money is no object”—people who say that usually have too much money, or they have money problems and pretend that they don’t care.
Humans believe money is the root of all evil. So we are shy to talk about money, to admit that we need money. In fact, money is just a medium of exchange in transactions, it’s a tool after all, it’s all up to the manipulator.
There is nothing wrong that you like to make money, as long as you make money in the right way, and don’t become a slave of money.
Sure, money is not the most important thing in life, but it is important! And it’s no exception for girls! We need to have a job, have our own income, and to be capable to live by ourselves.
I know that a lot of movies and books are telling you: marry a rich guy! But not many people tell you that asking money from others, you sell your dignity and freedom at the same time.
How long can you be young and pretty? How far can you count on that man? Only you can ensure your life.
Don’t be a Cinderella girl dreaming of Prince Charming who’s coming to save your life, even if you meet a prince, who can guarantee you that “princess and prince will live happily ever after!?” all the fairy tales stop at the most beautiful moment, but life continues, Diana married Prince Charles, she was never really happy after. Why don’t you build up your own kingdom and make yourself a queen? So if someday, some prince comes knocking at the door of your castle, you still have the choice to let him in or not; even he gets in, he is just a man coming to share the love, he is not your life saver, you are equal.
It’s true that building up your castle is much more work than just sitting and waiting, but this project not only brings you a better material life, you are building up your self-confidence and self-respect at the same time. And girls who wait for the prince, they may catch a frog by mistake when they run out of patience, but the frog which becomes prince by a kiss is only true in fairy tales, in real life even you kiss to stifling, that frog is still a frog. Don’t be silly!
You don’t necessarily have to be millionaire, but you should have enough to support the life you want.
Literary giant LuXun said: you can’t buy freedom with money, but you may sell freedom for money.
The author of a book《Rich is better》Judy Resnick said: I've been rich and I’ve been poor--and believe me, rich is better.
Even Holy Bible says: Don’t be too poor, otherwise you lose god’s face!
And I am telling you: never give up your kingdom for no matter a real prince or a frog! I did give up everything in China to come here, he said: take this chance to study, I will take care of you. More then half year I didn’t work, all the promises he made was still somewhere around, but he shouted at me: you think you didn’t cost me, the flower on your head cost me 5$! I looked at this man in everything famous brand I bought for him in China, the tie was even from Italy, never mind how much I spent. I wanted to laugh but I couldn’t, a man with 7 cars he wouldn’t care about 5$, he just happened to know how to hit me vital in one shot—even he don’t know Chinese KungFu. I like shopping but I’m too proud to spend his money, the shopping centre was not even 500M away, I never went there once, the only time I took a flower in supermarket, more than a slap on my face that moment.
The economic base determines the superstructure. There is no reason to being poor and pitiful. Destiny is in our hands, we have to handle it on our own.
Some people think it’s difficult for woman to make money. You know why some women are poor? The answer is easy, because they spend too much time and energy working on love and men! If we focus more on ourselves, we can be even more successful than men.
Life would be tough if we make money because we have to, but intelligent ladies can find balance in their job, enjoy their work, making money happily!
Use your own money, buy the most beautiful flower, lighting up yourself! Frog? Stay out of our way!!
