“ Happiness does not result from pleasure, but rather, from reaching one's goals. ”
What a wise man knows, therefore, is how to construct a pattern that, given the human situation, is likely to lead to a good life.
~ H.w. Charles
Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah said, Where there is no money, there is no learning. The rabbis explain that unless people's stomachs are full and satisfied, they cannot study, grow spiritually, and do good works.
The Tanakh teaches that, “The diligent will rule, while the lazy will be put to forced labor”. Most Jews work for themselves and hire employees instead of being employees.
While many ethnic and religious groups are mainly focused on the afterlife and downplaying this world, Jews view wealth and success as a blessing and gift from God.
