This is inspiring. A famous football star "Sadio Mane of Senegal" (West Africa), whose income is $186K per week, was seen in many places with broken mobile phones.

In an interview when asked about it, he said

I'll get it fixed.

When asked: "Why you are not buying a new one?", he said

I could buy a thousand, 10 Ferraris, 2 Jet Planes, Diamond watches that I can buy, but why do I need all of these.
I saw poverty, so I couldn't learn, I built schools so that people could learn, I didn't have shoes, I played without shoes, I didn't have good clothes, I didn't have food. I have so much today that I want to share it with my people instead of showing off.

What do you think about this? Isn't he a perfect example of noble, non-materialistic, truly wealthy fellow?

I love this topic because it has everything to do with money. Hence its relevant to Aza Community.

Its not new news but it will forever resound its lessons.

Lessons I found:
Materialism has no gain
Helping others brings true meaning and joy
Ostentatious lifestyle is futile
Be yourself. Live your own life.
And more.

Spotlight! :thumbup!
