Into the book
"But what difference would it make if we were free? We're not much different from those slaves."
“Yeah, that’s right.
I don't want to live a life like a slave.
“I work today, I work tomorrow, I work the day after that, but it’s always the same, just like now.”
--- p.45

“I think this way.
If you're still struggling after all this time, it's because you either don't know the rules of wealth accumulation or you haven't followed them."
--- p.56

When I realized this, I decided, 'I must find my place in the world.'
So I set some goals.
First, let's not just watch and envy others.
Second, let's not be satisfied with our current shabby state.
Third, let us not turn away from the poor but help them.

--- p.59

You have to keep that in mind.
That sun that is shining today was shining when your father was born, and it will still be shining when your grandson leaves this world.
The thoughts of young men are as bright as meteors that light up the sky, but the wisdom of old men is like stars that help a sailing ship not to lose its way.
Listen to what I say.
Otherwise, you will never realize the truth I am speaking of.

--- p.62

Can we simply attribute luck to a fisherman who has spent years studying fish habits and casting his nets according to the wind's direction? Opportunity is like an arrogant goddess who never comes to the unprepared.
--- p.71

Now, to all of you gathered here, and to all those who want a lot of money, I'm going to share seven secrets to filling your thin wallet.
Please take note.
Take the lessons I impart and plant them in your wallets as seeds of wealth.
First, you must become rich.
So that other people will want to learn the secret too.

--- p.82

Based on my experience, this is what I want to tell you:
"Don't be overconfident in your own thinking, where there are investment pitfalls."
--- p.111

A wise person constantly strives to bring better results to those who believe in him and support him.
So the world develops and changes.
Never stop.
Don't settle for the present, but strive to improve every day.
(Omitted) The seventh and final secret to filling a thin wallet is this.
Develop your own abilities.
Study to become wiser, study to become more competent, and study to become more respectful.

--- p.125

Don't hesitate.
Go see him tomorrow and tell him you want to invest a tenth of your income.
Opportunity doesn't wait.
Opportunities are here today but gone tomorrow.

--- p.146

The habit of procrastination is inherent in every human being.
We want to be rich, but when the opportunity comes,
Procrastination kicks in and prevents us from making decisions right away.
Ultimately, our enemies are ourselves.

--- p.153

Without wisdom, gold quickly disappears.
But with wisdom, you can make gold even if you have nothing.

--- p.179

Rodan, do you see the moral of this story? It's simple and clear.
Because I wanted to help my friend
The point is, don't carry your friend's burden.
It is foolish to carry the burden of others because of a desire to help.
Instead of trying to carry the burden for others, you should think of a wise way to help.

--- p.192

I really had a huge realization.
The soul of a free person sees life as a series of problems and tries to solve them somehow, but the soul of a slave just keeps complaining, “What can I do as a slave?” and then gives up.
--- p.239

Would you rather live facing the truth or living in a false illusion?
--- p.293

_ An exciting journey to wealth in ancient Babylon


This book is designed to be easy and engaging for young people who are just beginning to understand the economy and are increasingly interested in and concerned about money. It not only adds vivid storytelling but also provides a wealth of knowledge and information to enhance understanding.
We've also added a "Think More" section to help you develop your thinking skills by applying the lessons to your daily life, rather than just leaving it as a story.
This journey, filled with captivating stories and informative insights, will lead readers on the path to becoming a wise, happy, and wealthy person.

The prologue gives a brief overview of the history of the ancient city of Babylon.

Chapter 1, “The Enlightenment of Two Young Men,” asks questions about “living as the master of money” through the stories of a carriage maker and a musician who work hard but reflect on why they remain poor.

In Chapter 2, "The Richest Man in Babylon," we examine the difference between "those who eventually become rich" and "those who remain poor" through the story of Akkad, the young disciple who became the richest man in Babylon, and Algamish, the rich mentor who taught him, and we examine the laws of handling money.

Chapter 4, “The Seven Teachings of the Rich Man,” contains the seven teachings that Akkad, who became the richest man in Babylon, gave to the citizens of Babylon.
Through this, you will realize how to develop your money management skills and learn the principles of growing your 'vessel of wealth' and filling your 'pocket of money.'

In Chapter 5, "The Goddess of Fortune," we reflect on the kinds of people who experience luck and opportunity through discussions between citizens of Akkad and Babylon.

In Chapter 6, "The Unchanging Laws of Wealth," we follow the journey of failure and enlightenment of Nomasir, son of Akkad, who sets out with the "bag of gold" and the "bag of wisdom" he received from his father.

In Chapter 7, "The Moneylender," we hear advice from moneylender Marton, who has heard many stories about money, and learn lessons about responsibility for money and debt.

In Chapter 8, "The Camel Merchant," we learn how to "change your thoughts and overcome anxiety" through the story of Dabashir, who ran away with a large debt and was sold into slavery, but then repented of his past and found new purpose to take back his life.

Plus Story 'The Babylonian Tablets' contains the story of Dabashir's 'How to Pay Off Debt and Gain Wealth', engraved on an actual clay tablet, and the story of a professor of archaeology at the University of Nottingham in the UK who changed his life through this.

In the final epilogue, "The Luckiest Man," we'll hear the turbulent life story of Babylonian merchant Sharu Nada, vividly reflecting on how one's thoughts and philosophy on money, and one's attitude toward work, can change one's destiny.

Not a 'money-shy' person
How to Become a Wise, Money-Savvy Person

_ The 'philosophy of money' and 'the right perspective on wealth' enlightened through stories


The 'philosophy of money' you learn in your teens can determine the magnitude of your future life.
So, I hope that with this book, you will gradually correct your perspective on money.
I hope that you will grow into a wise adult who is ‘savvy about money’, not just an adult who is ‘money-conscious.’

So, are you ready to embark on an adventure through ancient Babylon, a land brimming with fascinating stories? Let's embark on a journey to unravel the "philosophy of money," understand the "principles of wealth," and delve into the "world of wealth."
