Akkadian

Long, long time ago, Babylon had a rich called Akkadian, it is said he was business, wealthy. The king ordered him to teach the rich know-how to others. The Akkadian Zunling teaching. To make their point of view is more convincing on the third day of class, Akkadian, taken another form. Akkad one seated on his students, said: "After listening to the lessons of previous occasions, I believe or assume that everyone learned their own one-tenth of the income to save up and ready to let them add value, because we are now must not allow them to busy myself already know the next question is in premise avoid losing your wealth, and how to make it work for you, and bring you a steady stream of income. on this issue, I do not want first say, but want another person to talk about his own experience, he is my son Nuo Mase. "

Nuo Mase listened to his father, went to the front of everyone and said:
"In accordance with the custom of Babylon, the wealthy father always like son Liuzaishenbian, so that they can inherit the family business in the future, but my father Akkad was not in favor of this practice when my adult when, one day, the father I called over, earnestness said to me:
"'I hope you can carry on my family business, but you must first prove that they have the ability and wisdom to manage it, so I want you to try again to the outside world, with their ability to create wealth become a respected person.
'In order to let you have a good start, and I will give you two things, I then started from scratch can without them.

'First of all, I want to give you a bag of gold, which will become the basis of your future wealth if you use it, I give you this piece of clay slate inscribed with five golden rule As long as you follow these five rules to do it personally, they will be able to bring you wealth and safety.

"'From now counting 10 years, you go back to where you informed me if you can prove himself is doing the heavy responsibility, I will let you become the heir of my property. Otherwise, I will all of the property to the priests. '
"So, I use a fine cloth wrap mud slate, riding a horse into the world to go to bring the father to my gold.

"Go out, I decided to try his luck in Nineveh, because it is a new city, I think the opportunity there must be more, I joined a desert caravan, still quite a few friends that hath including two people the gift of the gab, they have a very beautiful white horse, running like the wind.

"In the way of travel, they are very sure to tell me there is a stallion, a rich man in Nineveh in all competitions, had never lost its owner, firm in the knowledge that there is any horse can run too it so, regardless of the stakes how much he would be willing to bet his horse to horse can beat the vicinity of Babylon my friends said to me, the rich man's horse and the horse than simply a lame donkey.
"They generously invited me to go with them, betting on horse races, said this helped me a great favor. Touched by this plan.
"The results of our horses lose badly, I lost most of the gold." Akkad smiled. "Later, I found the two men is a liar, Nineveh man is their accomplices, and with them the spoils this cunning scam to me on his first lessons: To learn how to protect their own wallets.

"Soon, I received another painful lesson. Supplier team, I also met another young man, he and I, is a rich kids also think of Nineveh to develop. We went to Da Nini shortly after the micro, he told me that the death of a businessman, his ship goods being sold to fraudsters He suggested I buy those goods and with his partner, but he was the first to take the gold back to Babylon, so he persuaded me to acquire money buy all the goods, and promised our partner to do business after he came funded.

"However, he has been reluctant to return to Babylon withdraw money, I have gradually see that he is not only not a shrewd businessman, but also often big spenders. Finally, I parted ways with him, but then, our business has been almost unable to maintain a backlog of many hands does not sell the goods, there is no money to go into the new stock. Finally, I had to put all of the goods are cheap sold to a Jew.

"In a period of days after that, I really miserable and I looked around to find work to do, but found nothing, because I have not received any vocational training in order to earn a living, I had to sell my horse, slave and my extra robes poverty day by day approaching.

"At this time, I think of engraved the five golden rule mud slate father gave me the above, I carefully read the above that the language of wisdom, only to find that if I had first read these wisdom, would not be lost my gold.
