Outside reading

For my outside reading today I read a quote that says "A rich person is not one who has the most but the one who needs the least." To me this quote means that in order to be "rich" you don't have to have tons of money or lots of materal things. You just have to take what you have and appreciate it. The things in life that make you rich aren't cars , clothes or money but the relationships you have and the good times you share together. I think that people forget that what makes us truly "rich" is the connections we make with other people and the way that we feel about ourselves. It is not the new TV we get or the car that is more expensive than our friends. While those things might make us feel good for a very short time, they are all emply feelings. To truly be happy you have to be at peace with your life and the people in it and those things really cost nothing.
