Crazy rich man or wise samaritan ... for u to decide..globalmalayali (AT) googl (DOT) com Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His £3 Million Fortune Karl Rabeder grew up poor and thought that life would be wonderful if he had money. But when he got rich, Karl discovered that he was unhappy … so he decided to give away every penny of his £3 million fortune: " My idea is to have nothing left. Absolutely nothing, " he told The Daily Telegraph. " Money is counterproductive – it prevents happiness to come. " Instead, he will move out of his luxury Alpine retreat into a small wooden hut in the mountains or a simple bedsit in Innsbruck. His entire proceeds are going to charities he set up in Central and Latin America, but he will not even take a salary from these. " For a long time I believed that more wealth and luxury automatically meant more happiness, " he said. " I come from a very poor family where the rules were to work more to achieve more material things, and I applied this for many years, " said Mr Rabeder. But over time, he had another, conflicting feeling. " More and more I heard the words: ‘Stop what you are doing now – all this luxury and consumerism – and start your real life’, " he said. " I had the feeling I was working as a slave for things that I did not wish for or need. I have the feeling that there are lot of people doing the same thing. " Well... readers... Money , Wealth , Fame and Status...is definitely NOT everything in Life. Share joy...and see how it transform your Life as well as those around you End of the day , being contended and happy seeing others happy is what we should yearn to feel and realize.. before final call knocks our door.
