Here's a powerful story to be successful in all the areas in man’s life not just in financial.
One day, a man got lost walking in the desert.
The next day, he was still lost. After two days under the scorching sun, he was very thirsty.
All of a sudden, he saw a little wooden shed.
He ran to it, thinking of only one thing—Water!
When he arrived there, he saw an old, rusty water pump sticking from the ground. He gripped the handle and began pumping like a mad man.
But nothing came out.
Disappointed, he stepped back how to make it work.
Looking around, he saw a jug covered with dust.
When he grabbed it, he saw a piece of paper stuck on it. The message read, “Open this jug and you’ll find water. Don’t drink it. Pour it instead on the pump. And you’ll have all the water you want.”
He popped the cork.
True enough, the jug was filled with water. Lovely, thirst-quenching, water.
Now imagine you’re that thirsty man.
For two whole days, you haven’t drunk water. Your mouth is so dry, your tongue is sticking to the roof of your mouth. You’re literally dying of thirst. And you’re now holding a jug full of water. But the message says that you should throw it away!
For a moment, your heart is torn.
What if the message was a joke? A cruel prank? What if you poured the water on that rusty pump and nothing happened?
But the man in our story chose to take the risk.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and poured the water.
He held the handle and pumped like crazy.
A few seconds later, torrents of water gushed out. Indeed, he had more water than he could ever need!
He drank to his heart content. He also found water containers to bring with him in his journey and filled them up to the brim.
But before leaving the place, he filled the jug with water
And underneath the sign attached to it, he scribbled, “I tried it. Believe me, it works"
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is how investment works. Choose: drink water now or drink water forever?? This is the key to successful people. They have the ability to control and discipline themselves, they choose long term sweetness rather than minute of happiness. This is not only true to financial wealth but to every aspect of man's life. In relationships, choose people that will last a lifetime not just some one-day hit and run. In talents and skills, strive to perfect what you have and gain the benefits after! Discipline and Invest!

Who am I?
I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half the things I do you might just as well turn over to me and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed-- you must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons I will do it automaticall. I am the servant of all great individuals and, alas, of all failures, as well. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a human. You may run me for a profit or run me for ruin-- it makes no difference to me.
take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
WHO AM I ?
