Way to Wealth is a series of essays written by Benjamin Franklin. One of the most powerful guides ever written in the history of economics, quotes in this centuries old book still holds true even after 300 years.

While we all wanted to get rich and looking for shortcuts to attain wealth, we miss out small things, which are ought to be followed in our life. For example the famous quote “One Today is worth two tomorrows”, not only makes us to follow the habit of saving, but not to follow the habit of borrowing, means we have to pay double in future for what we borrow today.

There is nothing can be gained without pain, if you gain something without pain, it is sooner or later going to disappear from you. Many of us do not know the difference between time spent and time lost. There is no such thing as idle time, there is only leisure time which we spend to recharge us from day to day activity, rather not to waste time. While it is 100 percent true that time is the only thing we cannot earn. The act of procrastination is clearly stated with the quote “Have you somewhat to do tomorrow, do it today”. The act of ignoring small gains and not bothering to keep them is quoted as “Get what you can, and what you get hold”.
