My opinion is that anyone who wakes up in the morning and breathes and can fulfill his duties is rich

When people feel poor, it is often because they are living in poverty or near poverty. Poverty can be caused by various factors, including low incomes, lack of education and skills, limited access to jobs, and high costs of living. Mindset can also play a role in how people perceive their financial situation. Those who think they can't get ahead or that money is evil are more likely to feel poor, even if they're not. The economy also plays a role in how people feel about their finances. When the economy is struggling, people are more likely to feel poor, even if their personal financial situation has not changed. Ultimately, it is a combination of these factors that can lead people to feel poor. Poverty is a complex issue with no easy solutions. However, understanding the causes of poverty can help create policies and programs that make a difference. 

 I think anyone who wakes up, breathes, and does their job is rich. A person is considered physically rich when they are in good health and possess all the necessary organs for their survival.

He is mentally rich when he knows that his daily diet contains enough calories for his body's energy. He feels financially wealthy when he engages in his favorite activity for the day. Everything else falls into the category of luxury and greed. I also open a bracket for those who help others with their earnings. We admire the monks, but we want everything that everyone else has. Human desires have no end. And Mother Nature has given us air, water, sun, earth, and everything else we need to live for free.

True wealth: Ethics, People, and Nature.

In a world that often measures success by bank statements and material possessions, it is easy to forget what it really means to be “rich.” If we rethink the concept, we will see that wealth is not what we accumulate for ourselves but what we contribute to the world. As I have a saying, “If we think morally right and our actions are in the interest of people and nature, then we show how rich we are.” This statement of mine challenges the logic of consumer society. Wealth here is transformed from quantity of possessions to quality of character. In the moral choices of everyday life, Wealth is manifested in our ability to make the “right” choices when no one is looking. Would you choose to support a local producer, even if the product is somewhat pricier, instead of buying a mass-produced product that supports exploitative practices? This act is an investment in society—you are “rich” in consciousness. When we care for nature as a legacy, which is our greatest asset, we often treat it as...

What is the smallest investment you can make for yourself?

Let's be real for a second. Whether you're glancing at your retirement fund, scrolling through job postings, or just trying to navigate the price of groceries, there's one thing that feels constant: change. People often perceive this constant change as instability. The stock market experiences fluctuations, the job market adapts to technological advancements, and even the housing market exhibits unpredictable fluctuations. It's enough to make anyone feel twitchy about their future. That's why I love this quote from Mikhail Barshchevsky: "Markets are unstable. Invest in yourself." Simple, right? However, the implications are profound.  This piece of wisdom isn't just a clever saying. Firstly, Barshchevsky confronts us with the harsh reality: "Markets are unstable." And he's not wrong. Financial Markets: Stocks go up and down. Cryptocurrencies soar and plummet. Interest rates fluctuate, affecting everything from your savings to your mortgag...

Why True Consulting is About Building

 In the realm of investment and consulting, the alluring promise of "guaranteed returns" frequently obscures the distinction between a visionary and a predator. But there is a fundamental difference between a consultant who helps you grow and one who helps you escape reality. The Illusion of the "Foreign Perfume": Imagine a kingdom where the people live in hardship. A consultant arrives and convinces them to take their last coins and send them to a distant land. Why? Because that land produces exquisite perfumes, it promises a profit of 5% to 10%. The logic is seductive: "Invest there, receive your gold back, and buy a bottle of perfume." Then, you won’t have to smell the stench of the misery around you."  This is the definition of a bad consultant. They teach you how to mask the symptoms of a problem rather than curing the disease. They encourage the drainage of local wealth to fuel someone else’s economy, leaving your own "kingdom"—your c...
