Don't Chase Money — Chase Dreams

Chase dreams, not money — and for those who chase dreams, money and numbers always follow. My life has proven it. This may sound idealistic, so let me explain the mechanism. Money-chasers act on the profit of each transaction; their judgment turns short-term, and people accurately detect it — and never entrust them with great work.

Dream-chasers act on a distant point; able to accept short-term losses, they earn the feeling of "this person can be trusted." To the trusted flow people, work, and information — and money emerges as a result. "Money follows" is not spiritualism; it is the mechanics of trust.

The boy who once resolved to become rich learned at forty-five that the shortest road to wealth is not chasing it.
