The Money Tree

During my childhood, whenever I ask for money my mother would give it to me but, it will be followed by some enlightening words! Saying this words….

"Why every time ask for money! Do you think money grows on tree!"
In her Tamil words "kassu enna marathelaiya kaikethe!"

I don’t blame her for those harsh words as, I fully understand her hard work tapping the rubber trees to earn RM150 – RM200 in those days. Although, she used say those harsh word but, deep inside her heart she cared for me, wanted me eat the little kuih and study hard.

But, those words keep on repeating in mind all this while and I kept asking myself; Is there any tree which can grow money? I started to think how to change this harsh and negative sounding words into a positive and encouraging words. I took this challenge to find the seeds of “The Money Tree”

Knowingly or not knowingly she set my path for future…………”Find the seeds of money tree and growing my money” . I thought that, these words being repeated by many for centuries and it had some deep meaning in it. I just have to find out and realize it, get enlightened. And I vision “If I find the right seeds, and plant it on a fertile soil, I will be harvesting the fruits of my effort continuously. Once the tree started growing money I can plug it daily, monthly or yearly. I just have to water it and sprinkle some fertilizes once a while. Ops! prefer it to be organic fertilizers as it is the latest trend!".

So, I set this journey to find this seeds 15 years ago!!! Just imagine what people around you would be saying. Are you crazy? How can a tree grow money?

But, I never gave up I start in Malaysia;found "Pokok Emas but it was in the museum, then went to Japan; found neon trees, traveled to US; found scared Red Indian trees, and lately in Thailand; they had many Pokok Emas sent by our Sultan!!!. And I Google, BINGed it and Yahoo!!! Finally, on Dec 2008 exactly 2 year before my last day of work, while looking at the mirror I realized that the “seed” is nowhere to be found outside! It is inside me!.............I am the seed, I am the potential seed that can grow into a huge money tree.

I just have to nourish myself in the fertile soil of knowledge and skills to grow money and harvest the fruits of money, and with this realization a whole new world was opened to me. I become broader, bigger and new opportunities was wide opened to me. Salary man work became like a prison, there is no life giving water to wake up “the seed” there is not fertile soil for roots to split open downwards and there is no sun for the first shot upwards. Life is just a dry routine!

Since then all my affords was to give life to this seed to become “The Money Tree” as my mother told me in her harsh words. Deep inside her she wanted a “Money Growing tree” not the “Rubber Tree” but she didn’t know the way and methods to plant the money growing tree. Every child is a potential money growing tree! Well, does it sounds familiar? You might have heard this “Every human being is potential Buddha” You might agree with me. We have many fake God-men and genuine mystics telling us that your are potential Buddha and Buddha-hood is your birth right. But, not many Rich-men who are willing say :"You are potential Zorba, and Zorbahood is your birthright". Never heard about Zobra? Well Google it.

What to expect when we are surrounded by MIDDLECLASSmen, POORmen and many fake God-men! Who keep on saying money is BAD, Materialistic,Money cannot bring happiness and bla bla bla! When they hear you say “Money Growing Tree” they will be in shock and immediately shut you down knowingly or not knowingly. But, the RICH knows very well about this money growing trees and they keep on nourishing it, watering it and nowadays even the using chemicals/hormones to get more money fruits! Some have opted for organic money tree and environment friendly money tree also.

Yet, we (especially myself) didn't even know about the money tree. It took me 15 years to realize about money tree. Everyone, please search for your own money tree, find the seed and give it the life giving water, nourished it with fertile soil and expose it to the ray of the sun......Grow up to be a Huge Money Tree!

To be continued……What is a The Money tree? Don't go to your text books it is not there!!!
