    So how do you beat laziness? The answer is a little greed It's that radio station WII-FM, which stands for "What's In It-For Me?" A person needs to sit down and ask, "What's in it for me if I'm healthy, sexy and good looking?" Or "What would my life be like if I never had to work again?" Or "What would I do if I had all the money I needed?" Without that little greed, the desire to have something better, progress is not madeOur world progresses because we all desire a better life New inventions are made because we desire something betterWe go to school and study hard because we want something better So whenever you find yourself chanel purses avoiding something you know you should be doing, then the only thing to ask yourself is "What's in it for me?" Be a little greedyIt's the best cure for laziness
    Too much greed, however, as anything in excess can be, is not goodBut just remember what Michael Douglas said in the movie Wall Street Rich dad said it differently: "Guilt is worse than greed
    For guilt robs the body of its soul And to me, Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: "Do what you feel in your heart to be right-for you'll be criticized anywayYou'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don'tOur lives are a reflection of our habits more than our educationAfter seeing the movie omega seamaster replica watches Conan, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, a friend said, "I'd love to have a body like Schwarzenegger Most of the guys nodded in agreement

    "Yeah, I'll bet he has to
    "Nah," said the group cynic "I'll bet he was born that wayBesides, let's stop talking about Arnold and get some beers
    This is an example of habits controlling behaviorI remember asking my rich dad about the habits of the richInstead of answering me outright, he wanted me to learn through see by chloe bags example, as usual
    "When does your dad pay his bills?" rich dad asked
    "The first of the month," I said

    "Very little," I said
    "That's the main reason he struggles," said rich dad
    "Your dad pays everyone else firstHe pays himself last, but only if he has anything left over
    "Which he usually doesn't," I said"But he has to pay his bills, doesn't he? You're saying he shouldn't pay his bills?"
    "Of course not," said rich dad "I firmly believe in paying my bills on timeI just pay myself first Before I pay even the government
    "But what happens if you don't have enough money?" I asked"What do you do silver chanel then?"
    "The same," said rich dad "I still pay myself firstEven if I'm short of moneyMy asset column is far more important to me than the government "Don't they come after you?"
