Welcome to the Jungle By Gun N Roses

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE Nur Shah, welcome to the bloody messy jungle. Money is a labyrinthine by which it is filled with a lot of jargon, theoretical ideas and such. The most important thing one should do is not getting lost in it in an effort to understand those jargon and such but rather to find your out in order to be rich, stinking rich having the hands of King Midas. Nope, we're not talking about Bill Gates here, who is he by the way? We're talking about riches that matches the richest man in history who is John D. Rockfeller who is at an estimated 663.4 billion dollars in 2007 dollars.

It is by the inborn gene for man to desire to be rich to support a family, to do charity work or of course to spoil himself. Money makes the world go round and it is one of the most things in my life. The simplest idea of money is getting it and spending it. However, as time pass by, man have very much over this idea. Soon came, interests, investment, insurance and the list goes on, so much so that it can cover the diameter of this globe. Those driven by greed made money an injustice to society. This post has no structure and such as it is a bloody messy jungle.

Up ahead is a list of theoretical ideas that does not need answering but rather much thought to keep you busy and maybe in the midst of the process, you'll have an idea that'll make you wealthy. In the rapid urbanization of today's society, does the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. My reason for this is because it is that of the poor's ignorance that makes poor and the rich's desire for knowledge and the average income do not know why the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. By knowledge I do not mean degrees and diplomas but rather anything that is important for you to succeed. The poor begs for money and this becomes a daily routine so much so, that he does not find vacant jobs at the newspaper because of this illusion of mandatory begging. While it is not wrong to donate to the poor, I ask for the rich to instead educate them or else the poor will continue being poor and the next generation of poor people will be even poorer.

Democracy, Communism and such other political systems establishes a direct impact on money. They are very confusing and I feel that no system is perfect for every country. Even though Communism is not loved by many however when you look at it, Russia managed to defend itself from threats in World War 2 because the economy was experience quite an exponential growth. If there were no countries, would the humans then have rather balanced income? This is because different countries have different resources while a few have none. So, if these countries were to trade to other countries freely, wouldn't countries in Africa be much richer as they have a lot of natural resources? Something good is always balanced with something bad. The dictatorships in Middle East, the slave's resources in Africa, the poverty in India, the weather in Asia, the corruption in Russia, the gangs in South America, the changes in China, the economic instability in Europe and lastly, the social decline in America. If only each country would be not prioritize it's citizen but rather humans on planet earth, wouldn't it be a more visually appealing image?

Now on the topic of investments. You can basically invest in anything that has monetary value. Be it a simple school bag or a rather much more expensive gold bar. There are many different type of investments all of which have risks of varying levels, so the question here is, is investing a sin in Islam considering that it's something like gambling? The banks here in Singapore complicate me. What's the difference between them? Why are their interest rates so low?

For me, the world is revolving too fast. Everywhere there's developments. What happens if globalization was to take a step back? Wouldn't we then have more free time however we our income would remain the same as everybody else is taking a breather? More time to spend with our families, friend and religion.

Stock markets, I never comprehended them. How does a stock market? Why are people sacked from their jobs when it crashes? What are stock markets in the first place? Why are many countries dependent on America's stock market? Why is the American currency the universal currency. What does inflation mean and how does it affect the man on the street? What determines the constant uncertainty in a stock?

About a year ago, I read a book about being rich by Napoleon Hill. So, basically the main ideas of being rich is having a burning desire to be rich, reading a piece of paper everyday to make yourself determined, transforming love into its physical equivalent and dreaming many dreams. Dreams that generate ideas that sell and also dreams that is the fuel to your burning desire. However there are 16 things in all that makes you successful which I've already mentioned some. I need to read the book again someday because it's a very knowledgeable book, I never got the "secret message" and also because I never practiced what he told me to. Just for your information, that book sold more than 30 millions copies and it is the best selling self-help book in history.

I'm really hating blogger now because they're putting K-Pop advertisements at my chat bar. Nice sharing with you my thoughts and remember, do ask yourself questions about money.
