scottish billionaire - I propose to take an income no higher than USD50,000 per annum! Beyond this I need ever earn, make with out to boost my fortune, but spend the every year for benevolent purposes! Let us cast aside business forever, aside from others. Allow us to settle in Oxford and i also shall get a thorough education, making the acquaintance of literary men. I figure that is going to take 3 years active work. I shall pay especial attention to speaking in public. We can settle in London and i also can purchase a controlling interest in some newspaper or live review and provide the general control over it attention, getting involved in public matters, specially those linked to education and improvement with the poorer classes. Man must have an idol as well as the amassing of wealth is among the worst types of idolatry! No idol is much more debasing compared to the worship of income! Whatever I engage in I must push inordinately therefore can i make sure choose that life that is one of the most elevating in its character. To continue a lot longer at a loss for business cares and with most of my head wholly upon how you can earn more income in the shortest time, must degrade me beyond hope of permanent recovery. I will resign business at thirty-five, but during these ensuing a couple of years I wish to spend the afternoons in receiving instruction plus reading systematically!
