Money Is Not Honey

Just to pass my leisure I entered in a discussion room, it was full of people from different-different countries and places. Diversity did not stop here; it was a group of people of different age group, and of people from different economic background. Topic for discussion made it a perfect place to join, to discuss and to understand the issue from various perspective. The topic was "Importance of money in life and its management."

And the best ways to understand its importance is try to live penniless for a single day. His point reminded me a quote of famous writer Oscar Wilde,

She explained so vividly that most of people who were present in the hall came in support, from which I was not an exception until I heard the next affluent orator, who started with accepting the
