Contribution-A source to wealth.

Assalamualaikum,

Contribution. Generally, contribution is an act of giving something to others. It is an act to share, to offer something to others. The results of a sincere contribution is the most powerful gift that we can get from God. The feeling, the joy of giving sincerely to others are more valuable than the amount of stakes that we own. It is miracle how God make the smile of the person who we helped soothe every sadness there is in our heart. Even to the tiniest thing, the 'smiling' gesture of a cat which we fed, infact, make us smile and feel appreciated. In today's world, we are too occupied with being rich but neglect our rights to feel happy. As a result, the world has many rich men, but so little that have happy life.
Some people keeps their wealth to themselves. But, what makes some become wealthier and richer ? My solid believe is they dont keep it to themselves, they contribute. Regardless of their religions and faith, God impose His law equally to everybody. Those who give, will be repaid. This is the law that we often forget when it comes to contributing positive things. For most of us, we are too scared to let go what we love because we fear that we might lose it all. Therefore, we let go 'some' of what we like, but often accompanied with the feelings of insecurity and insecerity.

I believe we can be rich through contribution. We live in the world where many of wealth discussion have their end objective to be 'rich'. For example, many show us how to become rich to GET what we want. Many starts with "YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU WANT IF U APPLY THE TECHNIQUES DISCUSSED IN THE BOOK". This cliche motivation has no doubt will let we get what we want and sadly, only WE will get what we want. Even if we contribute to others, after getting what we want, the percentage of the contribution is very minimum.
I believe, if we channel our objective to be rich because we want to contribute, we will be rewarded with even more wealth to compensate our objective. We should start focusing on what to give to others. If we want to drive a good car, we must think of how can we let others to drive good car as well. If we want to eat a delicious food, we must think of how can we share with others the delicious food. By wanting to let others share what we want, we will not only creating one car for ourself, but producing cars to the entire community. Also, by giving others the chance to taste a delicious food, we will create enough delicious food for others.
By thinking about others, we are actually creating a way to supply things for everybody. We think how can we find a source to make car, following how can we capitalize the factors of production to sell cars at an affordable price. And the economies of scale follows suit and as a result, we can obtain reasonable returns, long-term survival and the most important thing- we feel good.

Contribution does not necessarily means charity. Contribution should be defined as making ways to create opportunity for everybody to share what we want to have. Yes, it still involve cost, but at least, we think how to make it cheaper. We must obtain profit out of our contribution, because we want to use that profit to share our next dreams with others. This is different from wanting profit because we personally want to have 1 good car for us.
