Dear Cozy,
If life gives you lemons, ask for salt and vinegar.
You gotta make money. No other choice man. You can’t afford not affording things you need. Your father and I are working hard, trying to ensure you don’t lack anything and trying to build a future for you and your siblings. We are also training you to seize good opportunities.
Do. Not. Lie. Fallow. Somewhere out there, there’s a whole plot of money waiting for you and I don’t mean just land.
You have been told, the love of money is the root of all evil and it’s a bad root indeed. I’d also add that the lack of money or apathy towards money or making money is the stem of all evil.
As long as money is how we trade on this planet, you gotta make it.
Don’t wait for any certain age, slow and steady wins the race. Remember, you’re not competing with others. They have their lives, you have yours. There is no point always looking over your shoulder and still trying to keep focus on the track. Pick a struggle .
Get down to work. Apply yourself. When you make the money, remember your home training and treat the world right, including yourself.
Love, Mum.
Just a Little More…
1. There is nothing wrong with making money and being rich. Nothing. Let no one deceive you that making money is a sin or evil.
2. The way we treat money is what matters. A poor man can wreck enough evil with the little he has if he wants to and even that little can destroy him. It isn’t about quantity.
