If you want to get rich, you have to become immune to the money.
What does it mean?
- Do not desire your own money. It turns you from a producer to a consumer.
- Do not desire the money of others. Envy is a deadly sin. Because it will distract you from your own mission.
- Do not desire the money you will make in the future. Desire good work right now, You don't want cash in, you want to serve.
Only this way you will get rich from zero.

How true is it? I want to ask the successful people here in this forum. What kind of rules or strategies that you guys use which led you to your success?
That's some decent, if rather basic advice for life - except for part 3. You definitely need to figure out your worth and whether you are being compensated fairly with your current employment situation. You could be losing a lot of your earning potential by sticking around in the wrong spot, potentially being underpaid by many multiples of your worth, for an under appreciative employer. While you may be happy to be slightly under paid and work in surroundings that make up for it, don't be walked on either. You should also be making a plan and trying to stick with it on your future earnings, especially if it includes diversifying into new income streams that exist beyond your single job, monitor and optimize them all the time.
