Live for today, plan for tomorrow, party tonight.

Please my good friend, no matter what you are doing right now, anywhere you are please just make sure you put your ears down to this great advice that I will give you today as regards to life.

But before I continue with my article, I will surely not forget to be always grateful to you Read.cash for this opportunity you have placed before us to make use of, educate the world and change the world for good through our writings. And to you my good friends, I appreciate your work so far and wish you do not relent in making positive impact.

I was opportuned to meet new friends during last year Christmas holidays, some of the friends I met were wealthy men that matters in my community. After I became friends with them, I decided to hang out one cool evening with them to have some drink and chill with the big boys in town.

As we all seated, we started a conversation and I raised a topic about wise man and foolish man and the way both of them live their lives when it comes to living for today, planning for tomorrow, partying always. One of the men that sat with us started explaining what differentiates a Wiseman from a foolish man as regards to the topic been discussed.

A wise man is that person that thinks about tomorrow and starts early to make necessary plans on how to achieve a better tomorrow, but a foolish man does not have such mentality of thinking about tomorrow, all he does is think about now and live his life within the circle of his present state, what ever he gets does not stay till the next day, no room for future plans. Let's get it today and finish it now, when tomorrow comes we will go out and look for what tomorrow can give.

A wise man makes sure that he spends with his head not with his heart. A wise man does not build his spending ability on his emotions, rather he spends on the things that are important and necessary. He makes his expenses based on the things he needs not on the things he wants. But a foolish man does not consider the both factors, he goes about spending on both what he needs and what he wants. A foolish man does not have priority list or what you call scale of preference. When a wise man wants to party with his friends, he does not only live for today alone, he plans for tomorrow and party at the same time. A wise man does not put all his eggs in one basket all because he wants to party and make merry, he makes reservations for future needs. In as much as partying and having fun with friends is good, a wise man makes appropriate plans and map out a particular money for enjoying himself, and also save some money for Investments and other projects for future purposes. But it's a different scenario for a foolish man, a foolish man does not have such time to plan himself and arrange his spending list.

A wise man thinks before he acts but a foolish man does not do so, when a wise man wants to say something, he gives it a thorough thinking and makes sure that what he is about to say does not contradict him or makes a different meaning all together, every word that must come out from his mouth surely makes sense and more meaning. A wise man meticulously take his time to address issues, but a foolish man does not have time to think or regurgitate the points he wants to make in his thought before letting it out, he speaks without reasoning and control, and at the end he makes no sense or meaning.

He continued by saying that why some people get rich today and tomorrow they go back to poverty is because they failed to apply these four major rules of staying rich. And these rules are as follows;

1. Think and plan before you spend.

2. Spend within your means.

3. Save as much as you can.

4. Spend little and invest more.

When these four major rules are neglected when you are already rich, before you know it, you will turn to be a poor man in no distant time. These are very difficult rules to keep and follow but only few persons that have kept these rules can be said to be rich and wealthy. But I tell you my friend, it's good to live a good life, enjoy yourself, have all the necessary fun you could ever imagine and also make plans for your tomorrow, but when you are doing all of these things, try and discipline yourself when it comes to getting money and spending it.

After he made his points, I began to understand life in another dimension. I got to understand that I have not really been able to meticulously apply these four rules he mentioned during his speech. Right now I have taken a decision and  promised myself that in as much as I want to enjoy myself and have the best of fun and party, I still need to plan my tomorrow and make it better. These four major rules he mentioned will be my daily anthem each time I go about my daily business.

Do not think and behave like the foolish man, rather think and act like the wise man today and it will be well with you. Learn from his words today!!!!
