People does want to get rich. In fact, de more rich some people get de more dem want and that is a problem. De richest man in de world, Steve Jobs, had some good words before he dead. Dem boys want to repeat these words.
“I have come to the pinnacle of success in business. In the eyes of others, my life has been a success. However, apart from work, I have little joy. Finally, my wealth is simply a fact to which I have grown accustomed. At this time, lying on my hospital bed and remembering all my life I realize that all the accolades and riches I was once so proud of have become insignificant with my imminent death,
“In the dark, when I look at green lights of the equipment for artificial respiration, and feel the buzz of their mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of my approaching death looming over me.
“Only now do I understand that once you accumulate enough money for the rest of your life you have to pursue objectives that are not related to your wealth. It should be simple stories more important. For example, stories of love, art, dreams of my childhood.
“No. Stop pursuing wealth. It can only make a person a twisted being just like me. God has made us one way. We can feel love in the heart of each of us and not illusions built by fame or money like I made in my life. I cannot take them with me.
“I can only take with me the memories that were strengthened by love. This is the true wealth that will follow you, will accompany you; will give strength and light to go ahead. Love can travel thousands of miles and so life has no limits.
“Move to where you want to go; strive to reach the goals you want to achieve. Everything is in your heart and in your hands.
“What is the world’s most expensive bed? The hospital bed. You, if you have money can hire someone to drive your car, but you cannot hire someone to take your illness that is killing you. Material things lost can be found. But one thing you can never find once you have lost it is life.
“Whatever stage of life here we are right now, we have to face the day when the curtain falls. Please treasure your family’s love, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat everyone well and stay friendly with your neighbours.”
Dem boys understand every word because dem does think about de facts of life.
Talk half and pray fuh all of dem that just grabbing. Jagdeo is one.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
