The old saying, “Money cannot buy happiness” is a way people console themselves with their failures to achieve financial success. It is often portrayed as if the successful must believe money buys happiness, while the poor have some mythical virtue due to their impoverishment. What is the truth of the matter?

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:20-21)

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. (Romans 14:19)

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (Matthew 5:43-45)

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (Romans 12:17-18)

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14)

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. (Psalms 34:14)

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. (James 3:17-18)

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Matthew 5:9)

“As a Man Thinketh is a literary essay of James Allen, published in 1902. The title is influenced by a verse in the Bible from the Book of Proverbs chapter 23 verse 7, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” The main concepts of this book as as follows:

* Men do not attract what they want, but what they are.
* A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
* Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment, of these, if you but remain true to them your world will at last be built.
* The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors, that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires – and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.
* Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves, they therefore remain bound.
* Every action and feeling is preceded by a thought.
* Right thinking begins with the words we say to ourselves.
* Circumstance does not make the man, it reveals him to himself.
* You cannot travel within and stand still without.
* As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts, can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.” (Introduction by Wikipedia)

If your favorite self-help or business success speaker is telling you about a Harvard study where 5% of the graduates who wrote their goals down were successful or a Yale study from 1953 where 3% wrote their goals down and were successful, then you are being sold a lie. Neither study ever happened and are simply goal-setting mythology. With that being said, is there any truth to the importance of setting goals and writing them down? Yes, there is a study that confirms this from Dominican University of California. The study results can be found here: http://www.taughttoprofit.com/ResearchSummary2.pdf

The Art of War
SUN TZU 孙武 (554 BCE – 496 BCE), translated by Lionel GILES (1875 – 1958). Read By Phil Chenevert.

“First compiled in the 6th century BC, The Art of War presents a philosophy of war for managing conflicts and winning battles. It is accepted as a masterpiece on strategy and is frequently cited and referred to by generals and theorists since it was first published, translated, and distributed internationally. The book is not only popular among military theorists, but has also become increasingly popular among political leaders and those in business management. Despite its title, The Art of War addresses strategy in a broad fashion, touching upon public administration and planning. The text outlines theories of battle but also advocates diplomacy and cultivating relationships with other nations as essential to the health of a state.” (Summary by Wikipedia)
