A diligent man shall not stand before mean men...


A diligent man 
shall not stand before mean men...

Now my store still hasn’t get profit yet even the demand is increasing. Temptation to having fun or pleasuring always come and bothers me. That kind of temptation is hard for me because my life style before was a pleasuring and spoiled life style. I must resist to this kind of temptation.


Even the rich man and the poor man is created by GOD, I believe that God created the “man” not created the condition of "rich and poor". Rich or poor is created by man. I believe that rich or poor is the issue of mind set.

Bible said that the difference between rich and poor is not how much the treasure they have but the way they live their life and the way they think. Like example the poor stay in his comfort zone and feel pleasure (prov 21:17) while the rich always think of innovations and improvisation. The poor always think to borrow and borrow again (prov 22:7) while the rich think how to invest even no money. The rich is always diligent in his business (Prov 22:29) but the poor said it is enough.

So, if I want to be rich, I must follow the principle of the bible: always doing  innovations and improvisations, stepping out from comfort zone, diligent in business and always invest (not only for assets but also for knowledge).


He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.  Prov 21:17 (KJV)
The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Prov 22:7 (KJV)

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Prov 22:29 (KJV)
