Whatever it is you want to do in life you can't build on nothing. You always need to have a foundation; a good grasp of the basics. It's like in linguistics. If you say " You know what? I have a PhD in English, I'm now too sophisticated to be dealing with things as basic as the alphabets. I only deal with sophisticated vocabulary". Fantastic! If we take away those "basic" alphabets out of your brain, what will be left?
Money is one factor that controls the thinking of almost everyone on our planet right now but real wealth is more than money. If we go down to the foundational principle, the real money is not paper, it is the value that the paper represents. You find out that the same paper used in printing the $1 bill is used in printing the $100 bill. What makes the difference is what's printed on it. If the real value were in the paper then the $100 bill ought to be 100x the physical size of the $1 bill. It's also important to note that it was man that created money, not God. Real money is value. so don't ever tie your sense of being rich or poor to the availability or unavailability of money. An understanding of this principle enables you to access wealth in the intangible world and convert it to the physical. When you have this mindset, this is what you'll realize: Economic crisis may erode your financial and material wealth but if it has not eroded your spiritual wealth (values, thoughts and ideas), it has not stolen your money and it cannot impoverish you. If you have spiritual wealth, what you just need is the wisdom to convert it; crisis cannot effectively erode your wealth.
Now think about how many ideas, thoughts or revelations that we neglected or didn't even recognize that had the potentials to change our financial status. Ideas are assets that if invested in wisely can yield amazing wealth.
