How ironic it is that today I pick out of my personal library of books “The Richest Man in Babylon” to start my trek on studying wealth. I just finished the first chapter and the character Bansir seemed just as I. In the first chapter, the author, George S. Clason, paints a picture of Bansir standing against a wall trying to figure out why he is still poor. I, too was at that same place recently. And just like at the end of the chapter, Kobbi, his long time childhood friend makes an enlightening statement to Bansir as to why they both have remained poor, as they have not studied how to be wealthy. He goes on to say that Bansir, focused and labored on how to become a successful chariot builder and he had studied to become a skilled lyre player.

Focus

Last evening, when I got home, I started on my to-do list that I created at work. I got home around 6:00 p.m. Checked my email, made a salad for dinner, and it was 7:30 p.m. before I had a chance to even start on anything.
