Famous Quotes - ability and financial planning

Hi! One of the prerequisites of financial planning is actually having the finances to plan with... if you know what I mean.

As for how to go about bringing in the money that we need and want, in the first place, the answer isn't exactly earth-shattering. After all, the importance of constantly learning and improving ourselves, especially in our fast-evolving Knowledge Economy, is widely accepted. But what most people don't know is that a very long time ago, the wise Confucius shed light on a unique characteristic of what he describes as a superior man.

I suggest you check out for yourself what Confucius said and then ask yourself if you meet that particular criterion.

Also, even in our Knowledge Economy, it isn't pure theoretical knowledge that is rewarded economically but rather applied knowledge - in this instance, it was the American poet-philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson who put it perfectly. Click here to read what Emerson thought.

After you've read what both wise men had to say about the subject of ability, do leave a comment with your thoughts or even a question concerning the links between ability and personal financial success. Stay well and thanks so much for dropping by The Cool Time and Money Blog.

Bye for now!

Warmest regards,
