The Five Laws of Gold
From the book “The Richest Man in Babylon”, where the parables are told by a fictional Babylonian character called Arkad, a poor scribe who became the “richest man in Babylon”:
The First Law of Gold
Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.
Arkad’s advice here is very similar to the First Cure, which is that saving is the start towards building wealth.
The Second Law of Gold
Gold laboreth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.
Arkad’s advice here is very similar to the Third Cure, which is that these savings can themselves grow and compound your wealth.
The Third Law of Gold
Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.
Arkad’s advice here is similar to the Fourth Cure, which is about being patient and having a long-term view.
The Fourth Law of Gold
Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.
Arkad’s advice here is about investing in what you know about and understand.
The Fifth Law of Gold
Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.
Arkad’s advice here is about avoiding get-rich-quick or very aggressive wealth creation strategies.
