MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY?

" The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gifts or skill. It will make or break a company... a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way, we cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you.... we are in charge of our attitude" - Charles R. Swindoll.
 

Many people will argue that the most important thing to man is money rather than attitude. As a matter of fact, every body understands money better than any other things. Our wives can tell better!
The love of money is not the root of all evil because evil has already been planted in the heart of men right from the evolution of the world. therefore, every man can distinguish between evil and good, though not between money and attitude.
We should learn to put somethings ahead of money. For instance, I seek to make money not because I am desperate but because the happiness of some people; my family and the society, lies on my hand. I am without arrogance responsible for the clothes they wear, the food they eat and their financial obligations. But I cannot go the extra-mile of making some people sorrowful in order to make people in my circle happy. What is the different between these people and my people? The bible says I should fill the earth. It gives me the mandate to impact lives on the surface of the earth and not to a selected group of people. Therefore, what is more important to me is love for humanity and not love for money!
Several other things are more valuable than money. One of them is time. Obviously, no one will ever ask you how you spend your money but how you spend our time. Jim Rohn says, " Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money but you cannot get more time." Each time we let go without a significant impact in our lives is more contagious than air-borne disease.  A seconds past is gone and each time is a new one. Time is so funny that it becomes old easily. Be careful of how you spend your time and not how you spend your money!
Another thing that is more important than money is life. It is so pathetic than many people put money ahead of life. They do not care what happens to the lives of their fellow beings. All they care about is money, money, money. There is absolutely nothing greater than money to them.
