“Content makes poor men rich Discontent makes rich men poor”
— Benjamin Franklin
Simplified Meaning:
Being happy with what you have can make even someone with little feel like they have plenty. Imagine someone who doesn't have much money but enjoys simple things like spending time with family or being in nature. They feel rich because they appreciate what they have and don't need anything more to be happy. On the other hand, someone who has a lot of money but always wants more will never feel satisfied. They might always be chasing the next big thing, feeling unhappy because they're never content with what they already have. For instance, think of a wealthy person who keeps buying more expensive cars and houses but still feels empty inside. Being happy with what you have can bring true peace and joy, no matter how much or little you own. So, appreciating and finding satisfaction in the present is the key to real wealth.
