You may take this as casting call for riches and ask why we opted for earning more money when everything was going reasonably smooth – enough food in the house to feed the family, and cater to guests / friends; enough money to buy clothes and toys; enough to indulge in whatever ethical worldly pleasures we have.

Two reasons why:
First of all, telling you honestly, TIME was in short supply. I was working 80hours a week year after year after year. How many people (and those of you here and reading this) are in that situation today ? Is it worth spending 80 hours at work and only 12-13 hours with your loving family, part of which again is compulsorily spent recuperating and getting back to the next 80-hour cycle. Still call me a riches wreck ?

My second reason – Its not fair to be earning or having JUST ENOUGH for yourself. In fact, its very selfish if anyone who says “I have enough and I don’t want more”. Because if you have just enough for yourself, how on earth can you share ? We owe something to this planet, something to give back for all that we have been receiving and still are. A tree produces more fruits than what it needs for itself, so others may eat. Cow produces more milk than needed for its own calf, so others may nourish themselves. Sun burns with more brightness and heat than it can contain, thereby illuminating the whole earth and supporting life on this planet. It’s a universe of Abundance. There's riches untapped in this world !

I am not advocating raffles riches. It's not always a rags to riches movie in real life - One has got to plan, work and create a flow from the riches untapped.

Have more money than what you need so you can share with the deserving. Have more time than what you need for yourself so can share with your loving. Have more energy and strength than just for yourself so you can protect someone in distress. Have more food than just for your own stomach, so you can feed the hungry. Have more knowledge than what you need to use yourself, so you can pass on to more students. Share wealth. Share love. Share…. Share…..Share……

And above all…. HAVE A BIIIIIIIG DREAM into which you can encompass everyone who shares.
