How Can I Be Rich?

This is a good read. Thanks for sharing.

Micky Dee-Thanks for your inspirational hub on how to get rich. You are right on with your point here that being rich has nothing to do with money. Thanks for sharing this with us in a time when so many corporations and companies are getting sucked into the evil temptations and corruptions for the almighty dollar.

Great Hub, Micky...

getting rich is about ... getting rich in what ? Monetary, health, happiness, family and friends... :) which matters most ?

Brother, you are a speaker of the truth and a wealthy man. Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

"People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent." -B. Dylan Peace!! Tom and Justin

If all people on this world would think as you, this world would be certainly a paradise: nature well preserved and people happy and healthy.

Thank you for this touching Hub, love and peace.

Amen. Wealth is not about the money. It's our family, friends, and experiences that make our lives rich.

I've heard the bicycle line in a slightly different form:

Q: How do you make a small fortune in the bicycle business?

A: Start with a large fortune.

This is great Micky.I like the quote of how to make a million,"Start with two million"You continue to tell it like it is.Until people with wealth start spreading it around,i see America continue to slide.We're getting closer and closer to a country where there is only the wealthy and the poor.The middle-class is growing nonexistent,little to be done unless people wake up and start living what they preach.Thank you.

Love and Peace

Well, what can I say? Now that you have given me the formula to be rich, I can go off now and 'be rich' I love this and love the chart: the pyramid capitalist system very much. Great hub loaded with much wisdom.

I particulary like the quote

"When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost." Billy Graham

Micky, from my short experience of you, YOU are very affluent with Charactor.

I vote up for useful.

Mickey: I have often found myself wishing that I was wealthy and the second I finished the wish, I would find myself thinking of how I would dispose of the wealth. Fact is I will never be wealthy at least not financially, but I have wealth beyond means in life and God.

The oportunity to be content seldom comes in a moneybag,thanks Micky.;)

Here I am again, Micky, in full agreement with you. Yes, our wealth is healthy food, soft winds, beautiful fragrances, flowers, nature, and our abilities to love and serve our fellowman.

Best poem of the year: How do you make 1 million dollars.. LOL!

Just to please my free and sometimes contentious spirit I need to say that the world is not at present in Evil's grip... it has been in Evil’s grip since humans came into existence. For all we know it was the case in the time of the dinosourus’ as well.

This is a hub that gives an interesting perspective on wealth’s relation to evil. God bless Micky!

If we know what you know Micky, we know all we need to know.

So many great quotes in this hub Micky and all of them ring true. We come into this world with nothing and we exit this world taking nothing with us. But what we accomplish while we are here will live on, and I am not talking about piles of money. That is nothing. What can be done with it to help others is something.

The curl of a leaf, a summer breeze, the song of a bird, the warmth of friendship...you know the most important things and share them willingly with others. Thumbs up Micky!

Ah! Plato! One of my favourite men.....thanks Micky

Brother Man this is beautiful, that's me just happy to have my wonderful wife, food, water, listen to my birds and share Gods glory that's all i need GOD BLESS you Micky

Peace to us all

Bravo brother - you are the richest man I know! And no one has wielded his wealth with as much humility and grace and honest human love as you. God bless you Micky!

Loved the Capitolist pyramid. I have spent my whole life avoiding being rich and I've made a very good job of it too! Peace.

This is "SUPER HUB", very inspiring and give us some motivation on how we don't need a lot of money to be rich. I thought money is not everything. of course we need money. But the main wealth is health, peace of life, humble, always smiling and the most importantly is the kindness of our hearts. True wealth is if we want to help others.

No one can predict when do we all become rich person. Everything could change on just a few minutes. If we poor now, a minutes later we can be a rich person. Who know? But if we are rich now, we can be the poorest in just a few minutes.

My uncle, I give my smile for you. I hope we can be a wise and good person....amen. Cheers...

Your nephew, Prasetio

This is a great hub Brother! Who needs to be a slave to Mammon? I don't!

Money is a great slave but a poor master!

And how can I be Rich? I already am, but I am a poor Rich with mental wealth!

God bless you Brother Micky!

Wow, bro' I cannot say what I was going to sat as Nephew Pras has blown me out of the water! I'm not rich in money, just in friends and Brothers like you and nephews like Pras! Man I so want to grow up to be as kind and wise as he is! peace and much love, dust

Oh my god, how could I have been on Hubpages for more than a year and NOT read any of your wonderful pages. This was just fantastic, uplifting in the extreme and beautifully written, thank you for making my evening.

Its going to take me a while to read through all your content, but I am for sure going to give it a go.

Once again, thank you.

I adore that final picture of old -age bicycles., not to trivialise the the great content of your hub., just love the picture and you, Micky x

Love the Pyramid of Capitalist System and your punch line at the end! Great hub!

I think that I am rich, living in my rv, just so long as I've got a decent computer, beer to drink, and friends to read and talk to :-;

....well I am already a rich man - I've had the pleasure, the honor and the privilege of knowing you Mister Sir Dee of Mickey - and I sure hope that you will continue to stay here - your people need you - and I'm sure you need us!!!!!

So true and so good, being rich has nothing to do with money but being with money allows a good man more options to do real good! Beautiful and much appreciated. :) Katie

Health above wealth always. Great quotes and great write. That capitalist pyramid picture was perfect. You rock, Micky Dee.

Love the images, Micky and well done, indeed. I imagine we all spend a lot of our lives chasing money or trying for things instead of qualities such as love, kindness and charity. Points we should probably think of more often....nicely done!

I read this several times just to ingest it all. It's so wonderfully creative. In the end, richness and wealth is really just a matter of who you are standing next to each and every new day. Some days I appear to have more, and other days a bit less - but all and all - it is usually the same. It is the way I am perceived by those around me that actually defines it. Perhaps people with a lot ought to try mingling more with people who have hardly anything - then they wouldn't think they have anywhere else left to climb. Peace

I very like your message of true wealth.

Micky Dee, I really loved this hub. It did not say anything I had not thought of before, but it said it so well! Your quotations were perfect.

Mickey my friend, you will be gratified to know I have followed your advice and have fully succeeded in avoiding any semblance of wealth. It seems to be the one thing at which I truly excel! :{)

Peace bro.

Everyone wants to be rich, and that's why I love reading this blog.

Being consumed in the quest for riches leads many to lose the true wealth of this world. A life filled with those we care about and who care about us... and that wealth keeps growing... with interest.

I am so glad to be back here on HP, I have missed reading your hubs Micky and this one was a treat.

So much I agree with and also so much I learnt. I loved the closure;

'How do you make 1 million dollars in the bicycle business?'

'Start with 2 million.' Brilliant and another worthy of all buttons pushed.

God Bless you my friend!

Somehow I really want to understand the meaning of wealth, now I get a little bit of insight and realize money and power are not exactly the wealth; but love, peace,health, happiness, contentment, and God are true wealth.Thanks for sharing!

Great message, King Micky! I am really proud that I know you! ^_^

According to Solomon "The Wisdom" is the most precious of all things and most difficult to attain.

It seems to me that you have been touched by true Wisdom!

......well I always come back to revisit the classics - and to say the day I met you Sir Dee of Micky I became a rich man - indeed!

I am already rich coz I've got a friend like you ;)

This hub is full of wisdom that is beautifully written. I agree with what you wrote ---

“If there is a benevolent God, in control, we should not have to assume God's role.” This is 100% TRUE! Sometimes we worry too much that we try to find solutions without even remembering God. We unconsciously try to replace His wisdom with our own.

I also like this quote: "Wealth is the ability to fully experience life." Henry David Thoreau

Well Micky Dee...you've done it again! Taken us from wanting, to just accepting. I like your spin on wealth. I guess I am wealthier than I thought...thanks to your insight on the matter. I do notice the things of nature and those around me, and try to love and respect others as to who they are, although I may not always agree with them. Thank you so much for putting it in a true perspective. Money isn't everything anyway...if you don't have love. : )

wow! wonderful hub! I wish i could think like you.

An awedome Hub, my brotherman! Really awesome. Jumped all over the buttons and will come back to jump some more!

The touch of a hand, the sound of a voice, the music that moves me - these are more important to me than any silver or gold.

At the same time I will do whatever I can to ensure that others get to enjoy the same things, because far too many don't have that option. Mainly because some want more silver and gold than they could ever use just so they can have it. That makes my enjoyment of the wealth I do have a little less than it could be.

Thanks for this really great Hub - and I will be back, of that you can be sure!

Love and peace

Tony

I find it difficult to pen a comment,as so many have said good things here which I would echo. Well done another good hub, voted up.

Good evening my friend.. I was doing my thing this evening and then. ..Micky!!!??.. is he still a hubber??.. I had to run in and check on ya.. phew.. so glad to see u r still here.. lol.. and of course great hubbing as always.. I love being rich!!!. in friendship and love that is.. .. be well Micky, I got an eye on you Mister.. LOL

A truly magnificent hub written by a truly magnificent man - Micky Dee! This quote, ""Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship." Buddha" is one I truly resonate with. You have covered some "rich" points. I do so like your "The Lords Prayer". I have to say that meeting you and "getting to know you" have been a rich and wealthy experience for me. Love you, Micky!

Thanks for sharing your good information and that nice pictures , i rated you hub useful.

"Try to love your enemies." even Fidel Castro said it and from his kind of governance,i came to realize that good governance comes from the heart.He proved it by not trading Cuba like the past and present leaders of Nigeria.

Micky : Wonderful to visit your hub in a long time. Very good read. I have been a little lazy in creating new hubs.. I see you have kept it going..Keep up the good work. Cheers !

Yes, health is the most important thing, and more valuable than money. We cannot get our good health back if it is lost. So to have good health is certainly to be rich.

Another good hub, Micky.

Dearest Micky Dee,

True wealth is having a true friend like you. I love you buddy. Love is all. Money is crap

I like this hub very much, specially the way you give the readers positive values to be rich physically and spiritually. An awesome hub !

You express yourself through the chosen words of great humanitarians and human beings including Jesus. To be content with little has been the wisdom of the ages and yet I am only now learning. The wolves are still howling at the door and the door is yielding to their paws.

...good hub...funny, how i just assume most of us already understand....HD Thoreau - i like his quotes myself...

The richness of a heart filled with love

the wealth of a mind that cares enough to touch souls with a smile that soothes pain and draws back a smile,

this be the truth of wealth and richness in any person! anything else is but weight as lead by the side of a roadway leading to nowhere!

Danced to the stars my dear. hope them buttons still works :D hugs :D

.....well everytime I hear from Mister Sir Dee of Mickey - I am a rich man - everytime I go to his hubs - I am a rich man - and for the rest of you here at Hubland - you too are rich men and women - Sir Mickey we all thank you - because it's the simple things in life which mean the most - and simply put - you mean so much to all of us!!!

I absolutely love this so much...this is my third visit. Each time I read it, it just gets better and better! And I...become richer and richer. God bless you my dear and wonderful Micky!

One Love Micy Dee love this one

why was i not surprised, you had been in the bycicle business......

Love this hub, it is all true, and you went to so much trouble to write it.....

hahahaha, start with $2 million??? Oh Micky Dee, you are priceless!

You shook me as I began to read. It seemed you were actually striving to achieve wealth. I should have known. I love the twists in this hub. And the quotes.

Over the weekend, I concluded there were two reasons to become rich. One, to pay off my children's student loans, which will take wealth. The second reason was to be able to run a Foundation for some cause I felt committed to helping. Obviously, I am not God and cannot eradicate abuse or hunger-- your quote has been duly noted.

Hugs, dear friend. I need to edit all my Where's David hubs into less time-intensive pieces. Meanwhile, I enjoy reading your bicycling tidbits. Keep up the good work.

Mickey Dee

How do you get rich? By building connecting friendships with lovely human beings like Mickey Dee. You are rich because you know what is important in life. Your humble and down to earth. You are grateful to God for all that you have. I think you know money creates hell on earth and happiness is living within our means and being grateful for what we have. Your the real deal my friend.

Micky Dee, I will be sure to call you, should such an opportunity manifest, lol. You are awesome. Story

well Micky- you've once again done a great job... makes me want to do a hub for this one, and get teh word out for this awesome hub.

Micky, It's yet anther great hub. I liked this post very much. I am aspiring to be a rich man but I don't know how to do that. Your hub sheds much light into some be attitudes one must possess in order to be rich.

It never ceases to amaze me how [while unaware] you can give me the healthiest dose of a reality check, that guarantees 2 things for me

a million dollar grin

and two

a million dollar dose of hope

I love You

Kimberly

Listen when the Truth Seeker speaks... it not about the money. Alright then, Richness has many forms. You almost got me with that twist of yours.

Love the quotes too, Micky.

Amazing article Micky !

Some of the methods and strategy you shared are practical they are pretty good as well, but some I guess will not work or need lot of hardwork.

Nice advice. Could you check my view on this "How to be Rich?" and write what you think?? Thanks. Very good advice.

As always; EXCELLENT. I am most partial to Socrates' sayings -

"He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature." Socrates

AND

"If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it." Socrates

AND I just love the pyramid-capitalism poster. Thanks Micky Dee.

callmefoxxy, my pen is a mighty sword!

"I suggest you avoid wealth if at all possible." As so many great artists and thinkers have done. I agree with Micky: We don't need more TVs, we don't need bigger houses, we don't need faster cars and we definitely don't need an iPad') but we do need each other and we need more hubs like this. More than half the world live in poverty; isn't it time to wake up and forget about accumulating money and start accumulating spirit? Time is short.

Hi micky,

I do beleive in Godess Laxmi.Her mode of tranport is owl and if she is happy then all the wealth of world would be in your feet but if she is unhappy with you, you would be lucky to be beggar.

Great Hub Micky

The Monetary System is a zero sum game, always winners and losers and of course for every winner there are hundreds of losers. I don't mean 'loser' in the pejorative sense just in the sense that people will always lose out due to exploitation etc because the system is inherently unjust.

Hilarious punchline too. LOL

You just keep blessing me and blessing me. I am rich in my Lord Jesus Christ! I am thankful for all of He's blessings!! I am slao thankful I have met you on Hubpages. A part of your life here on Hubpages, is better than nothing. God Bless you mickey Dee! Voted-up! and Awesome.

I am certisfied now. Thanks alot.
