“A line measure of your worth includes all the benefits others gained from your success’’ – Cullen Hightower
There is nothing like selfless service to humanity. It really determines your net-worth now or later. But it means a lot to signify who you are in the future. Heave you hear this before? “If you can help enough people to get what they want, you will not be found wanting”. Let me drive home my point with this wisdom from Sydney Madwed “Poor is the man who does not know his own intrinsic worth and tends to measure everything by relative value. A man of financial wealth who values himself by his financial net-worth is poorer than a poor man who values himself by his intrinsic self-worth.” If your net-worth is based on financial, it means your value will be fluctuating in seconds, minutes and hours.
Living becomes more interesting when you have people benefiting from your effort, and that start with your character. “Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.”- Benjamin Franklin. Unfortunately we think of sharing only in term of materialism. Napoleon Hill declared “Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.”

“Every man from his worth can build and increase his net-worth.” - Sunday Adelaja. We all have self-worth but not everyone utilized it to create a net-worth that last longer. If you are confused what your self-worth is all about, Matshona Dhliwayo have an answer for that, he says “Show me your talents and I'll show you your net-worth.” Believe it or not “When your self-worth goes up, your net-worth goes up with it proclaimed Mark Victor Hansen. If you want to be remember till eternity, I will implore you reason along with Sunday Adelaja when he says “Why the world remembers nothing of some certain people, the same world cannot forget some other people, the reason is the difference in net-worth they were able to build while on earth.”
