secrets of a rich man

From an article today in inquirer.net:

Lucio Tan's 8 secrets to a happy life
1. Work hard to achieve your dreams.
2. Take every opportunity, masama o mabuti, as an opportunity to learn and grow.
3. Lead a simple life. Do not live beyond your means.
4. Do away with the very bad Filipino attitude of living on credit, or spending today, earning money tomorrow.
5. Be matipid; teach the kids the value of saving money and using money wisely.
6. Make sure to pay your debts.
7. Don't betray other people's trust.
8. Take care of your parents, your other elders.


I don't think these are really secrets, we all know these but most of the time we forget. Our memories just need a little refreshing sometimes and it's good to be reminded by one of the wealthiest & most successful, albeit simple, men in the world.

I particularly like #s 2, 3, 7 & 8.
