While I was tidying up a drawer I found an old notebook, where I used to write down summaries of some books I had read, the phrases I read about the greatest seller in the world made me think that it was an extraordinary book.

My second thought was, were these phrases in the book or were they inspired by it, to get out of doubt I had to read it again and I would do so gladly, because this is one of those books that is worth reading several times, if you have not done so I invite you to do so.   If you want to accompany me on this journey, I will publish in several days some of the reflections found in the book and my interpretation, it will not be a time in vain I assure you. I hope you enjoy it.

The title of this book leads us to infer that it is about wealth and it is so, this is the first ambition that a common man has and who does not want wealth? is it wrong to want it? would having it make us bad people?

• Let us read a passage from the book:

Riches, my son, should never be the goal of your life. Your words are eloquent, but they are mere words. True wealth is that of the heart, and not of the wallet.Page 30

Don't aspire to riches and don't work just to get rich. Strive for happiness, for being loved and loving, and most importantly, strive for peace of mind and serenity. Page 31

In response to the above comments the young man asks his boss:

But all these things are impossible without gold. Who can live in poverty and achieve peace of mind?

How can one be happy on an empty stomach?

How can one show love for his family if he cannot feed, clothe and shelter them? You yourself have said that riches are good when they bring joy to others. Why then is my ambition to be rich, not good? Poverty may be a privilege and even a way of life for the monk in the desert because he has only to support himself and please only his god, but I consider poverty to be a sign of lack of ability or lack of ambition. Page 31

Interesting, no! What do you think? We can be happy without money, as we would buy our food without it... I know you must think that there are thousands of people who are self-sustaining with the agriculture they themselves harvest, but what about the other people who do not know how to grow a single potato.   This is a beautiful book that leads us to reflect on wealth and how to get it, it was very difficult for me to avoid putting so many quotes, do not punish me for it.

Never be ashamed to undertake something even if you fail, because he who has never failed has never tried anything either. Page 37

Failure will never overwhelm you if your determination to succeed is powerful enough. Page 37

In other words, failure will not defeat you if your determination to succeed is strong enough.
