10 Things You Can’t Buy With Money

Money
Money can satisfy your want for material wealth, but there are a lot of other things that you can’t buy. Here are .a list of ten things that you can get them only with your personal effort and energy and most of all, you have to earn it.


1. Working experience: Experience is something you have to go through in your life to gain it. Your exposure at the workplace is valuable lessons that money cannot buy.

2. Wisdom: Apart from your personal experience, you learn more from your failures and defeats to become wiser.

3. Trust: There is only one way to be trusted. You have to earn it by what you have promised and delivered. The moment you can’t honor your promise, you are no longer trusted.

4. Achievements: You gain your success in life by blood, sweat, and tears. There is no other way to achieve it. You have to put in the time, determination, concentration, and facing obstacles along the way.

5. Health: Money can buy your supplements and gym equipment but money cannot get your health and fitness. You have to do exercise every day to sustain your alertness and energy.

6. Happiness: The happiness of acquiring material wealth is short-lived. The moment you take delivery of your new car, the latest model is already in the showroom and you are thinking of getting it so that you can be happy. True happiness is from within and it is not attached to any material things. Think happiness and just be happy.

7. Respect: Can you pay someone to respect you? There is no way except to earn it. You are only respected when you have contributed to mankind. The more you can give the more you will be respected.

8. Peace of mind: Will you be able to have more peace of mind with more money? I doubt it. Peace of mind is your feelings and not relating to material things. It exists in the mind and you feel cool calm and collected which money cannot buy.

9. Readership of your blog: As a blogger, you can’t pay others to read your articles. Even if you do the moment you stop paying them there will be no readers visiting your blog. The only way to attract readers is to post articles useful and capable of solving their problems. I am grateful for the support of my readers. I take the opportunity to thank them from the bottom of my heart. You can’t buy readership, you have to earn it from the readers.

10. Knowledge: You can pay for a place in an institution of higher learning. But you cannot buy knowledge. You have to spend time to learn, understand, digest, and absorb in order to get it.


The only worthwhile things in this world that you truly treasure are those you have to put in your heart and soul to get them. You will not treasure and appreciate things that you can buy with money because they are not acquired through your own effort.
