Really enjoyed this thread......................and soooooooo HOW TRUE..............

The value of a man is not in his wealth............ but in his character and what he can offer others in the world.

Money won't buy happiness....... it only pays the bills!!!
Money won't wrap its arms around your neck and say I Love You, nor will it share your thoughts and emotions.

In our society where "money talks" the true "value of a man" is lost on the floors of Wall Street...........

If the true "value of a man" was allowed to shine thru - our society would not be in the trouble that it is in today!!!

Money is materialistic, and all that goes with it is also......
Yes, it will buy necessities, luxuries, etc. It will make your life comfortable in many ways...............

But it sure won't buy you the true meaning of "being happy"!!!

It won't show you kindess, affection, true devotion, and peace of mind!!

But money WILL SHOW YOU ONE THING....... Many a "greedy" person!!!......

Just a thought................

Ralph Waldo Emerson defined success in a simple life well lived as:

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of
intelligent people and affection of children; to learn the
appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of
false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in
others; to leave the world a little bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social
condition; to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

This was the best part of the article.
