At the age of 80 while my legs were almost in my grave and I was living last moment of my life, when I had achieved all what I can and had lived my life and was just counting days on my fingers and was waiting for the train to arrive, I thought of looking back at those 80 years I have spent so as to save myself from waiting.
I went back into the time when I was 6 years old. I was always looking towards people having a good bank balance and living their life like a king ,somewhere in my mind I was also planning to one day become rich like those people where I don't have to wish for the things I wanted, so I decided to work hard so as to become rich.
I woke up early in the morning and started working for the goals I wanted to achieve, I worked day and night so as to achieve what my dreams were, I managed to pass my college with good percentage and decided to took admission in MBA as I wanted to start business. So I worked hard and took gold medal in MBA and decided to continue my study and went on completing PHD.
Now was the time to enter in to practical life and to step forward so as to start my business and I succeeded in starting my business and within few years I achieved what I wanted to achieve, I was rich now and I was able to afford anything I want in my life but even after all my achievements I still was feeling like I had something missing in my life and I took that missing part as a sign of earning more money so as to satisfy myself. But you know what I kept on earning more and more money and one day I reached a point where my life became short so as to spent all the money I have earned but I again convinced myself that I have achieved what I wanted to achieve and now is the time to live my life.
But a question raised in my mind that am I really rich, had I really added value into my life but I was unable to find answer to this question so I kept on living my life making wealth again, Time passes so fast that with a blink of eye I turned 60 years old but my thirst of making wealth was not satisfied so I continue to do what I was best at, I kept on earning more till I turned 80 where I am now.
But still even after remembering of my long journey of 80 years who I was and who I am now, I was feeling like I am still poor and even after having so much wealth I was feeling like a beggar looking at other people for help, I again decided to think of my 80 long years and what I find this time was that my whole world was around money and I had achieved nothing except making money. I spent my whole life without knowing what I really was missing in my life.
But when I came to know what I really was missing, my train had arrived and now was my time to arrive towards my grave, I died and I wasted my whole life and didn't find a chance to tell you all what I really had missed in my life. I was buried in my grave and while my body was dead I still was willing to convey people some message, so as a soul I decided to answer what I had never been able to answer in my life. I being soul of my dead body was saying it with grief, regret and pain but was trying to tell everyone something which I had never realized in my life.
Soul speaks
"People I being soul of that dead body which is buried under a grave, a dead body of a person who wasted his life running behind making money but in the end, ended up with nothing but money, I am here to tell you all that don't waste your life running behind money because your wealth will never be measured by how much you earn infect it will be measured by how much people are there for you to celebrate your success, your real wealth is people who will remember you even after your death, your wealth will be determined by how much people love you, your wealth will be determined by how much people will be there to attend your funeral when you will be having your last ride from your temporary home to your permanent home which is called grave, you will be only rich if you will have people in life who will remember you ever after your death, so don't waste your life, if you have people who love you, you are rich, if you had done good deeds and plays your role towards helping needy people you are rich, don't ever think that wealth is determined by money, it is determined by how much people love you and how much you will be remembered after your death,

So you are poor if you have earned money but you don't have people to remember you, to attend your funeral, you are poor if you didn't make memories, you are poor if you have no one to share your feeling with."
What if I tell you a secret to become rich forever, will you do it?
So secret behind becoming rich forever even after your death is to play a part towards helping other people, to play part so as to bring a change to society every person is looking forward too, to do something good that people will remember. People are your real wealth and if you have that wealth you are rich for ever, if people remember you after your death, then you are rich my friend so go on add a meaning to life and become rich forever.
Your life is like a cup and tea inside cup is people around you, money you earn is like sugar so if you will not use that money as a sugar so as to make tea sweet, by helping people your life is useless, so add some meaning to your life by helping people, add some value to it by adding sugar. If you will have tea without sugar you will never have the real taste of tea and same goes for life if you will not help people you will never have the real taste of what life is. So in order to have that taste use your money as a sugar so as to help others and make your life useful.
