Poor Richards Almanac by Sierra Wilson

I think the proverb, "He does not possess wealth, it possess him.", is very true. I think that money can change a lot of people in many ways. Sometimes a person can get so caught up in riches and fame, that they forget what it took to get them there. Having wealth and fame is always exciting, but it shouldn't take over your life. In some cases, wealth can become too overwhelming. It can damage your life and hurt the people you love. I feel this way because money is very important to people. Its good to work hard and get paid very well, but it shouldn't take over your life.

I think, "Tis hard for an empty bag to stand upright.'', is a very motivational quote. I think it means, if you don't have any encouragement, then you're not going to be determined to do anything with your life. You should be filled with confidence, drive, motivation and determination. So that way, when you stand up for yourself, no one can knock you down. You should be able to hold your own. No one should be able to discourage you from what you believe in. I feel this way because you should never give up on anything you do. If you have confidence, you'll be able to stand on your own.
