There are few people in this world who strive for wealth ignoring precious things in their lives. In fact, wealth is the root of many problems in this world. People neglect their family, happiness and pleasure during the course of their journey towards success. Here goes the story of James who strived for so much for so little.
James hailed from middle class family. He faced several failures in his life. He had a loving wife and affectionate children. He thought of becoming a wealthy person to earn respect in the society. He started doing business and avoided spending money for basic things like food, cloth and shelter. He put his wife and children under tight financial controls and spent most of his time working hard.
After few years he became very rich. He developed several health problems in his life and had no happiness. As a result, his children got separated from him. However, James’ wife remained with him until her last breath. Later he began realizing the value of life and importance of wife and children. Although he had wealth he lost his happiness, health and peace in his quest for wealth.
Therefore, don’t search for stones by leaving gems at home. Don’t bother for wealth ignoring health, happiness and family. It is always the journey that counts, not the destination in life.
