You're chasing money now.
But when you get it, you'll realize you were chasing power all along.
Money is a tool, a powerful tool. But money is not all-powerful.
Sure, money can buy you most things: a house, a car, passports, security, protection, manpower, help.
But it can't buy everything.
It can't buy love or genuine care.
All the money in the world won't help if you don't know the right people.
You can be a billionaire and still have a terrible dentist. The most expensive dentist in the world might just be in it for a paycheque. He doesn't care about you.
Money can get people to care—as long as caring earns them more money.
Rich men get played by countless women. A fool with money is not powerful; he's a piggy bank for others.
Money is important. You can do a lot with just money.
But when you have all the money in the world, you'll figure out that you weren't chasing money. You were chasing power.
And all the money in the world doesn't give it to you.
You need more.
Do you understand?
As always I am rooting for you.
