Money, money, money, sweeter than honey... Apna sapna, money money...human imagination knows no bounds when it comes to the subject of money.

But then money is not everything, and one needs to have the right perspective to deal with the issue.

This book helps you to presicely do that.The book explains the meaning of attitude in general, and how to have a positive attitude towards life to enjoy earning money.

It also explains the concept of power of money, and how this power can help us to fulfil our demands in life.

We all try our best to earn money but whether we are satisfied or not depends upon the way we lead our life.

In fact, many people with lot of money, are not satisfied with their lives.

Then, there are some who don`t have money, and they don`t even try to earn as they have lost all confidence.

And finally there are some who are earning money, and are also satisfied with what they have.

In the author`s point of view, one must try to emulate the last category of people.

And for this, it is very important for one to understand that simply earning money is an altogether diferent concept from `earning money with satisfaction`.

This book also includes 20 stories of different people who solved their problems by knowing themselves and their circumstances to get success and money along with satisfaction.

However, what follows is not that one should blindly follow one of these examples, but try to analyse one`s own capabilities and work towards what suits one`s nature and circumstances.

Each story has a message for the reader, by which he can improve his attitude towards life and lead a happier and successful life.

A STORY FROM THE BOOK IS AS FOLLOWS:
1. A Man Who Used His Skill
Once there was a man who had a passion for new cars. Whenever a model of a new car came into the market, he bought that and sold his old car. He was not very rich. In fact, his parents were poor. They were leading normal life. He never went to a school of high status in his childhood days. Whenever he found some free time, he helped his mother in cooking and sometimes he also cooked his meal for himself. One day, he made up his mind to earn money to lead a comfortable life with a status that he feels could get him a thrill. So, he started thinking of earning money and thus looked for information from many places to run his own business. By this time, his father became old and as per his circumstances, he had to bring money to his house.
He joined a company and started earning money to run his house. He was not free in the morning to collect the information for his business because of his job. Therefore, he used to meet people at night after his job to collect the required information for running a business. He had very less time because everybody does not entertain you at night. Therefore, he could not start any work of his choice because of lack of information about any business. He started remaining upset. But he did not lose his heart because he was determined to run his own industry some day. His mother was an expert in cooking. He was also interested in cooking, so he learnt the art of cooking from his mother and became an expert. Once he was very upset and his mother came to him and asked him about his frustration. He told his mother the reasons of being upset. For those who have faith in themselves, frustration is always temporary, though, sometimes, they think that they don’t have any other alternative. But whenever a new opportunity comes on their way, they always try to grab that. His mother gave him a smile and told him, “Don’t get scared of your frustration and think what skill you have and explore that skill or hire some skilled workers and then start your own business. But to run a business, you need money to buy a place and machinery and for paying the salary of the workers, at least for two to three months”. To hire skilled workers was not possible for him as his circumstances were not favourable. He slept that night with a thought of finding his own skill. Next day, when his mother cooked food for him and served to him, it had a great aroma and nice taste. He asked his mother how you could make such a tasty food! She explained, “It’s my skill as I enjoy cooking and make my own recipes”. After having the meal, he went out of his house on his job. When he came back, he had in his mind what he had to do. It was a food business. He learnt more methods of cooking from his mother and told her to join his business. He started at a very small level. His mother cooked the food and he did the marketing of his food products. With the passage of time, he bought a small place and constructed a restaurant and then a big place. Now he has a chain of restaurants. As he has money, he can now fulfil his desires of buying any new car that launches into the market.
This was the story of a man and his circumstances. He knew the art of cooking which was his skill and he explored that. Try to find out your skill. You can also start your own business which suits your circumstances that are always different from others. He had faith in himself and his attitude that helped him to build up his confidence. Most of the people, whom you think are successful, must have overcome their difficulties in life. Such people never give up. So, start knowing yourself and your circumstances from today to run your own business or to start something of your own.
