90 Days of Wisdom: Day 41

Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. (Proverbs 10:4)

Back in the '80s, the band Dire Straits had a hit song, "Money for Nothing." It seems that many people have fallen into the trap of some how doing very little but making a lot of money. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Historically, it never has.

If you want to be successful, you must be diligent. There are two aspects of diligence that must come into play if we are going to acquire wealth. We must be work hard... and we must work smart. We must choose the best career path for us and then we must give it 100%.
