Mind Vs Wealth

‘Mind Vs Wealth’

“More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has ever been taken from the earth.”

Values, morality, principles, honesty, truthfulness, being trustworthy, and faithful are far superior than the so called precious gems, diamonds, pearls, emeralds, gold etc.

One may possess materialistic richness but if he is not able to talk well with people he will have very few friends.  A poor person who has time to lend his ears to others and has a sweet tongue will be liked, loved and appreciated than a person who is rich but is rude and has no time for others.

The above saying, (“More gold …… the earth.”) also conveys that power of mind is far superior than the ‘power of gold’.

Thoughts and ideas of engineers who are not rich can convert a mountainous area into a dam; Thought and ideas of poets, philosophers and writers who are not rich can change the way people think and live.  On the other hand a rich man bereft of innovative thoughts and ideas may still be acceptable in the society but a person with negative thoughts will bring more harm to the world than can be thought of. 

Hence it can be said that,  “Good thoughts were, are and will remain more important than materialistic wealth.”
