Is it possible to purchase the following with money?
- Knowledge
- Wisdom
- Respect
- Honour
- Love
- Friendship
- Life
- Time
- Peace
- Sleep
The answer is simple.
Money can hardly buy anything except what is physical, like food, water, house or cloths.
If you are too poor, you perhaps can’t think of anything else because money is needed to buy these things for the sustainable body.
For a hungry man, a loaf of bread may look like God.
However, if a person has been provided with basic necessities, he would find money useless in achieving higher things of life.
A person who is rich passed through the journey of life and understood this valuable lesson of life, while a poor man is still unable to think of anything more than his survival.
Hence, their perspectives differ in respect of money.
Steve Jobs once said, “My favourite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time”.
He knew this well because all his wealth could not buy him more time, which he wanted too badly during his last days.
