"Desires must be simple and definite. They defeat their own purpose shouldthey be too many, too confusing, or beyond a man's training to accomplish."As a man perfecteth himself in his calling even so doth his ability to earnincrease. In those days when I was a humble scribe carving upon the clay for afew coppers each day, I observed that other workers did more than I andwere paid more. Therefore, did I determine that I would be exceeded bynone. Nor did it take long for me to discover the reason for their greatersuccess. More interest in my work, more concentration upon my task, morepersistence in my effort, and, behold, few men could carve more tablets in aday than I. With reasonable promptness my increased skill was rewarded, norwas it necessary for me to go six times to my master to request recognition."The more of wisdom we know, the more we may earn. That man who seeksto learn more of his craft shall be richly rewarded. If he is an artisan, he mayseek to learn the methods and the tools of those most skillful in the sameline. If he laboreth at the law or at healing, he may consult and exchangeknowledge with others of his calling. If he be a merchant, he may continuallyseek better goods that can be purchased at lower prices."Always do the affairs of man change and improve because keen-minded menseek greater skill that they may better serve those upon whose patronagethey depend. Therefore, I urge all men to be in the front rank of progress andnot to stand still, lest they be left behind. "Many things come to make a man'slife rich with gainful experiences. Such things as the following, a man must doif he respect himself:"He must pay his debts with all the promptness within his power, notpurchasing that for which he is unable to pay."He must take care of his family that they may think and speak well of him."He must make a will of record that, in case the Gods call him, proper andhonorable division of his property be accomplished."He must have compassion upon those who are injured and smitten bymisfortune and aid them within reasonable limits. He must do deeds ofthoughtfulness to those dear to him."Thus the seventh and last remedy for a lean purse is to cultivate thy ownpowers, to study and become wiser, to become more skillful, to so act as to48Brought To You Byhttp://TheDiamondsMine.com
respect thyself. Thereby shalt thou acquire confidence in thy self to achievethy carefully considered desires."These then are the seven cures for a lean purse, which, out of theexperience of a long and successful life, I do urge for all men who desirewealth. "There is more gold in Babylon, my students, than thou dreamest of.There is abundance for all."Go thou forth and practice these truths that thou mayest prosper and growwealthy, as is thy right."Go thou forth and teach these truths that every honorable subject of hismajesty may also share liberally in the ample wealth of our beloved city."49Brought To You Byhttp://TheDiamondsMine.com
