Build wealth. Love your life
I do remember that Thursdays on The Money Principle are usually reserved for a book review or for thought provoked by reading something related to life and money. But today I am feeling ill – I had to see a doctor, spend loads of money for the check up and…
There was a time, over fifteen years ago, when I did believe that one can have a really good quality of life in a poor country; given that one isn’t poor, of course. This belief had no foundation in experience – only in casually empiricist observation. I had noticed that…
Last week I was telling you about the seven laws of the Universe that were set out by Mel Gill in his book entitled The Meta Secret. These are: The Law of Mentality The Law of Correspondence The Law of Vibration The Law of Opposites The Law of Rhythm The…
Last weekend I was in Helsinki, at the beginning of a rather tiring work trip – during the last two days I gave two high pressure, high level talks in two different countries. The first one was to be in Helsinki and since I have a very good friend (and…
Some 20 years ago I took a severence deal to leave my job in the nuclear utility where I had worked for some 20 years. It was really a no-brainer because the alternative was to spend days away from home, my new wife and kids and hours each way on…
