The 5 Laws of Gold.

Presently,I am pondering on these 5 Laws of Gold.I will write them down for your benefit;

1. Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.

2. Gold laboreth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment,multiplying even as the flocks of the field.

3. Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in it's handling.

4. Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in it's keep.

5. Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.


Surely,the grammer of these Laws does indicate to you that they were written centuries ago but I tell you,every single word of it is true and is still applicable to modern day life.Being the profligate that I am,I spend like money is going out of fashion but a little wise old book did make me come to realisation that I may never get the success I want if i am not prudent in my financial dealings.This book talks about the richest man in Babylon by the name Arkad who rose from the lowly state of a scribe,carving laws on tablets to the richest man in Babylon."How did he do this?" you may ask.He got tired of his pennilessness and decided to heed wise admonitions from a money lender named Algamish and this was,"A PART OF ALL I EARN IS MINE TO KEEP." This is easier said than done.From personal experience,the wants and needs of everyday life eats into our savings but with discipline and fierce determination this can be achieved.Where does the Laws of Gold come into play? It is one's ability to invest wisely one's savings to bear children and grandchildren and using them all wisely until you beacome "The Richest Man of Your Own Domain."
