It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy (John D Rockefeller).
I have come across a number of posts where people compare the life style of some billionaires to that of a non billionaire where a billionaire will be seen wearing an unbranded T-shirt while the wanna be billionaire will be wearing branded clothes and all sorts of expensive chains. And I've seen some people even call some billionaires too greedy that they even fail to buy themselves branded things.
What people should appreciate is that each person has a purpose in life and that people want to get wealth for various reasons and therefore using material things to measure wealth is misleading people especially the upcoming generation.Ive observed how people in their 20s are so obsessed with material things to the point that they focus more on investing on themselves than in themselves which in turn leaves them empty inside. When there is is no enemy within, the enemy outside cannot do any harm ( African Proverb). No wonder Benjamin Franklin said "Take a coin from your purse and invest it in your mind. It will come pouring out of your mind and overflow your purse.”
Some people are so focused on solving problems while others work hard to have money so that they can show that they have money. Yes success is a relative word and means different things to different people but true success comes from living ones purpose. That is why John D Rockefeller said "The poorest man I know is one who has nothing but money".
As Jim Rohn said "As humans we where not designed to pursue money or success then money gets attracted to you" That is why your main focus should be solving people's problems by providing Value. So if ones goal is to solve people's problems, one will be so excited when they accomplish that and that is the thing that will matter the most.I have noticed that most billionaires are too busy too busy solving people's lives to even worry about what they are wearing. If ones goal is to wear branded outfits when they have money, that is what they will get definitely focus on when ever they have money.
I am not saying that there is anything wrong with wearing branded clothes, I just think we shouldn't compare people based on how they dress or look. What matters more is what brings fulfillment in their lives. Just make sure whatever you are doing doesn't make you feel empty at the end of the day and is affecting other people in a positive way.Albert Einstein said "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."
Mark Zuckerberg founder of Facebook and one of the richest men in the world mostly wears similar Tshirts to avoid wasting time on picking which one to wear. His focus is bettering the lives of people. Jay Shetty said " We are wired for generosity but educated for greedy. People who help other people are happier"
Sadio Mané is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and the Senegal national team. Considered one of the best players in the world and amongst the greatest African players of all time, he is known for his pressing, dribbling, and speed. VSadio Mane has been named African Footballer of Year after a season that saw him kick the winning penalty for Senegal as they claimed their first Africa Cup of Nations title and repeat the feat when they secured the World Cup qualification.
Sadio once said "I don't pay too much attention to much attention to buying expensive cars and or smart devices. My priority is to always make sure my people (Senegal) go to their beds with better food, better hospital services and schools. I won't rest until I make a better impact in my community. And am proud of other footballers who spoil themselves with luxury cars and apartments. It's their money, they deserve to spend it in their own way. In the future I might also be able to buy luxury things but for now, I want everyone to be in better conditions back home".
Sadio Mane has received France Football's inaugural Socrates Award, in recognition of his charity work in his native Senegal. Mane, 30, is accustomed to writing headlines on the pitch, but it's his continued efforts off it that are making the biggest difference
Anyone one has the right to spend their money which ever way they want. Others choose to spend it to better other people's lives, others choose to spend it to work for them while others want to show others that they actually have the money. Remember time is money. Stop wasting your energy on things that don't even matter. Physical appearance, height or complexion matter 1% for success. The rest of the 99% is your hard and smart work. At the end of the day focus on things that bring you fulfillment. Viktor Frankl said, "When a person can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure". Remember you are enough.
