  What most people don’t realize is that wealth isn’t the same as income.If you make $1 million a year and spend $1 million, you’re not getting wealthier: you’re just living high.Wealth is what you accumulate(get together), not what you spend.

  How do you become wealthy?There, too, most people have it wrong.It’s rarely luck or inheritance or even intelligence that builds fortunes.Wealth is more often the necessary and natural result of a person’s hard work, determination, perseverance and most of all, self- discipline.

  The most successful accumulators of wealth spend less than they can on houses, cars, vacations and entertainment.Why?Because these things offer little or no return.The wealthy would rather put their money into investments or their businesses.It’s an attitude.

  The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice.Those who spend heavily on cars, boats and houses, I’ve found, tend to skimp(spend little)on investment advice.Those who skimp on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice.

  The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money.They may wish to retire early, or they may want to leave some concrete possessions to their children.The goals are different, but two things are consistent: they have a dollar figure in minds.The amount they want to save by age 50, perhaps?And they work hard toward that goal.One thing may surprise you.If you make wealth---not just income---your goal, the luxury house you’ve been dreaming about won’t seem so attractive.You’ll have the attitude.

 “Teamworking” is found everywhere within just about every organization .you can’t get away   from “teams” that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Or so the theory goes.

There must be a clear reason for the team to exist. And all the members should realized the value and significance of what they are going to do. What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive. What is more ,they should also be well prepared for the possible difficulties they may come across in the process.

Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized  and  they must have the feeling that their suggestions will be taken seriously . This is an important point because the team may need to resolve some complex or thorny issues. For example ,it may discuss a sensitive topic .Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees. This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on frank discussion is required.

It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones. This is not only demoralizing or discouraging, it also makes no sense ---people that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place. Since they have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.

Disagreements are natural and, in fact debate and discussion should be encouraged. A team made up only of "yes men" can make disastrous decisions that few people honestly agreed with in the first place. Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled. For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a discussion that involves only two people, so "under-the-table" method may be effective.

Most high-performing teams are well organized. A good organizer should be able to play to individuals' strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. It should be someone who can act  as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve. He must ,above all, be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to others coaching them to achieve tasks, and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went.

Team building isn't as simple as just throwing a few people together. It requires, much more, but motivating people is most essential. Successful team working is not marked by how much progress the team makes toward its goals, but by how confidently each of its members completes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride.
