Earning money and...

Work hard and persevere enough, then...

• Use money to make money:  Save your “first bucket of gold” – or small fortune — from work, but then use it for investments. Don’t just park money in the bank.

• For men, find a job that you will be happy with and work hard at. Women, in line with an old Chinese proverb, should marry the right man!

• Don’t marry too early in life.  It’s better to work hard when young and establish a career first.

• Those already successful, money can become a controlling factor in life and make you a slave to it, Lee noted. One way to avoid that:  Philanthropy. Giving away money to the right cause, with a leveraged effect and your own involvement in how it is spent, will “give you peace of mind.”
