Five Strength

Did you know that our muscles are not our greatest strength?

In fact, we have five strengths in total we need to nurture and build up in harmony. These are Physical, Mental, Moral, Friendship and Financial Strength.

As an individual, we need to be fit and healthy to have the physical abilities to excel in our daily lives. Strong body needs strong mind. Studying the Arts, Science and Technology, our intellect and thinking power will strengthen.

Equally important is to learn the spiritual lessons to be upright and trustworthy person that people will look upon us. It also helps us to differentiate between right and wrong, good and bad and set the correct paths to drive forward.

As we cannot live alone, we need to associate and rapport with many wise and good friends who can help and support us when we are in need. Last, but not least is to learn how to gain and manage our wealth such as multiple sources of income generation, prudent spending, assets vs liabilities, using financial tools and investing for future. ?

Furthermore, these strengths are not only applicable for individual but for Company, Community and even broader aspect as a Country. Take your time to read and understand the above table.?

Like a body builder, if we are working out constantly to increase our five strength, these muscles will surely help us to advance in our life. Study also suggests that companies, communities and countries who boosted up their respective strength in harmony are flourish and thrive well in the highly competitive world. So why wait? Just do it.
