Advocating money is a good quality, but don't indulge in it too much, don't be greedy for money, and don't be stingy.

Let’s take a look at the story of Madden and Professor Rhine.

Madden was orphaned at the age of seven and had to find his own accommodation and food.

In his early years, he read the book "Self-Help" by Scottish writer Smiles.

Smalls, like Madden, was orphaned as a child, but he found the secret to success.

The seeds of thought in "Self-Help" formed a burning desire in Madden's heart, developed into a noble belief, and transformed his world into a better world worth living in.

During the boom years before the Great Panic of 1893, Madden opened four hotels.

He entrusted the management of these four hotels to others, while he spent a lot of time writing books.

In fact, he wanted to write a book that would inspire America's youth.

Just as Self-Help inspired him in the past.

While he was diligently writing, a ridiculous fate teased him and tested his courage.

Madden called his book "Forward to the Front."

The motto he adopted was: "Treat every moment as an important moment, because no one can tell when fate will test your character and place you in a more important place!" At this time!

, fate began to test his character and arranged him to a more important place.

The Great Economic Panic of 1893 struck.

Two hotels in Madden were completely destroyed by fire, and the manuscript that was about to be completed was also reduced to ashes in the fire.

All his tangible possessions were lost.

But Madden has a positive attitude.

He looked around to see what was happening to the country and to himself.

His first conclusion is: Economic panic is caused by fear, such as fear of dollar depreciation, fear of bankruptcy, fear of falling stock prices, fear of industrial instability, etc.

These fears caused the stock market to crash.

567 banks and loan trust companies, as well as 156 railroad companies, all went bankrupt.

Unemployment affected millions of people, while drought and heat caused crop failures.

Madden looked at the material and spiritual emptiness around him and felt the need to inspire his country and people.

It was suggested that he manage the other two hotels himself, which he declined.

What occupied his mind and body was a lofty belief.

Madden combines this belief with a positive attitude.

He started writing another book.

His new motto was a self-motivation statement: "Every opportunity is a big opportunity." He told friends: "If there is ever a time when America needs the help of a positive attitude, it is now." Madden at a horse stable

He works here and lives on only $1.50 a week.

He worked day and night and finally completed the first edition of "Advance to the Front" in 1893.

The book was an immediate and enthusiastic reception.

It is used as a textbook and supplementary reading in public schools, it is widely circulated among store workers, and it is recommended by famous educators and politicians as well as pastors, businessmen, and sales managers as the most powerful reading to inspire people to adopt a positive attitude.

It was published simultaneously in 25 different languages ??and sold millions of copies.

At the same time, Madden also became a millionaire.

Madden, like us, believes that human quality is the cornerstone of achieving success and maintaining results, and believes that achieving truly perfect quality is success in itself.

He pointed out the secret of success. He pursued money, but he opposed the pursuit of money and excessive greed.

He pointed out that there is something a thousand times more important than making a living, and that is the pursuit of a lofty ideal of life.

Madden explains why some people remain complete losers even after becoming millionaires.

Those who sacrifice family, honor, and health for money will be losers in life, no matter how much money they can amass.

Money can do bad things as well as good things. The key is to use it wisely. In addition to meeting basic living expenses, money can also be used for charity.

The Rockefeller family brought happiness to thousands of people through the gift of money.

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, many big figures who had made the American industry flourish began to pass away. Many people were extremely concerned about whose hands their huge fortunes would fall.

It was expected that most of those heirs would be unable to stick to their father's legacy and squander the inheritance in vain.

Take the famous steel tycoon John W. Gates, for example. He once won the title of "One Million Dollar Bet" for taking risks in the steel industry.

Later, he passed the family property to his son, but his son was so extravagant that people gave him the nickname "Spend a Million Dollars".

Therefore, people naturally pay attention to young Rockefeller with great enthusiasm.

In 1905, "Cosmopolitan" magazine published a set of arguments against Rockefeller Jr. titled "How He Will Arrange It". The opening line read: "People have great doubts about the largest fortune in the world, Mr. John D. Rockefeller.

He is very interested in the future arrangement of the property. This property will be inherited by his son John Day Rockefeller Jr. in a few years.
