Bridging the Art and Science of Making Money
While the book “The Science of Getting Rich” claims certainty, it is also much a philosophical book in its time. The theses on wealth creation now lie where richness takes place in this universal system. Wattles therefore will tell you that everyone has the right to be rich in this system and he lays out the groundwork for people to achieve this right.
Wattles define the Science of Getting Rich as the advancement of man and development of life. People should have a positive attitude of getting rich as his right. Here, Wattles connect getting monetary wealth with the ability to acquire our basic needs while finding ways to grow individually.
Perhaps the main principle of the book is the shift from competitiveness to creativity. This thought states that people do not have to step on each other’s toes to get rich. Instead, it is our call to create. The will to create allows us to have a vision of what we want to do, a path to where want to go, and the motivation to continue to focus on creating wealth. Getting rich is therefore an exercise of clarity of the big picture and should not be regressed to small battles laid out by competition.
Wattles’ book weighs upon the advance of all. In a company, you have to give people more than you can take from him. This allows you and your peers to have the momentum to move forward. Remember, that in order for a business organization to grow, you have to take your people with you. Expansion for your selfish profit will leave you with more fools than smart people. This is an example of living the certain way. To attain wealth is to be positive about it.
The Science of Getting Rich is a great book with ideas that still applies today. Financial freedom is only possible if you are not guarded by your competition. Instead, your potential is without limit if you seek creativeness. This book pushes you to look forward instead of looking behind to your disappointing past or sideward to your grueling competitors. This change of perspective is what all people need today in a highly competitive world.
