Hi mylotters..nice to back for discuss with you all. I believe that many of people sure wanna being rich. But I corious to know that are all of people have same thought about meaning of rich. Maybe, in generally, rich is having much money and property. But some people were felt to be rich because they have family as the big property. They felt rich because God has given happy in their life etc. For me, Rich people is people who felt enough ofall things that God given to them, always thanksfull everyday. How do you think guys? share here please what meaning of rich for you. Thanks for join to discuss about it.

Thanks mr hsofyan. I feel rich too. I have experience when I and my kids must follow my husband to live in small city in Lampung and left Jakarta, i felt so sad but when I meet some teachers thare and share some knowledge and experience that I have as long as i live in Jakarta when being teacher of early age kids, they told that they need me to share more. They make a workshop and I asked to share and give them education about how teach kids with fun learning. I felt that knowledge and experience could be precious things and never less or end when we share it. So you are really right.

The meaning of the word rich has changed a lot for me over the years. when i was younger and i heard word rich i always thought in terms of money and wealth. someone who was rich had a lot of money and that just made them a rich person in my eyes. Now i have come to see that being rich is not all about money. It is how you live your life and your perspective on the world and what is in your heart that makes you a rich person.

hi sender. I agree that we see rich person not from how much they have money but how many things they can do the goodness for life. there is no meaning of rich if the person have no heart for care and share with others. without close the eyes that everone want to be have much money because we need it.

Rich definition i think will different from other peoples.As you said that some peoples say rich is for having much money,cars,and big property.But what for all of that if that person not happy,broken family or bad personality.I prefer say that rich is come from the deepest heart.Thanks for God given,share to each other,help some people who need it,create some jobs for some people,etc.

I agree with you tedifa. money is not usefull when the person have bad personality, unhappy in family or not have good relation with others. I remember that my mom said she is reach because have 10 grandchild. She would like to change hergrandson even someone pay her 10 billion. So, rich is not all about money. Thanks for join in this discussion tedifa.

Rich to me is healthy children and grandchildren. Being able to buy the groceries you want not just to get buy. Being able to take a vacation a year. My husband and I do that now for the last 2 years. We are now saving for an Alaskan Cruise. When I wake up and can move that is a rich day for me if I have a painfree day. It seldom happens but when it does I feel blessed for it. Actually I actually felt rich when I started doing crafts to help to give to others like a afghan. I joined an organization and we knit or crochet squares that will come together to be an afghan and can be sent anywhere in the world as long as you have the address when you request an loveghan. It is a wonderful organization and I feel blessed and rich that I can help someone else and know they smile when they get their afghan out of the box.

Hi marie. I agree with you one hundred percent. that rich is healthy. Because health is so expensive. We can imagine that when we not health it's mean could not doing manything. how much money do we have will lost at a time when we must pay doctor to get health. and proud of you for doing something for afghan. God bless you always.

Real happiness-that is joy rooted from God. Men claim they are happy if they don't have any problems in life. What about being happy despite tons of problems in life!

hi isohyeoh. I can not imagine that life without problem. we know that God give us problem to make us thinking for the solution, to be strong for life and get the lesson as a modal for next step. As human, as you told that we joy what fate or destiny from Gid because God has knew what the best for us even we think it a good or not good fir the time.

To me rich, is if I get happiness. My happiness, if I have money. Because, if I had money, I can be free from the shackles of other people. If I am free from the shackles of other people, then I'll be happy.

Rich is a wonderful word which makes one enter into a different world.And that is only money. Yes, these days only money is considered to make one rich - but in only certain circumstances this works, but at many places it fails. One should earn money I agree but dreaming to become rich makes one to do so many unwanted things which results in one's life only difficult happenings. If one adapts to be rich in heart and activities I feel he is the richest in this world. Any how these re my thoughts...

Hi busybee. Thanks for share your thought here. I think that everyone would like to being rich if reach is about money. I know that some people get different way to be rich. So about the meaning of rich. people have different meaning too. and have different purpose of being rich. Some people would like to share and help each other, some people thinking being rich for save that their son, their grandson and their descent next will live comfort.
