Princess Diana
This list is definitely in need of some womanly advice. Princess Diana was loved by many. She was very active in her charity work even through a very public divorce. Here are some wise (and comical) words from the Princess.
"They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?"
I included this quote because not only is it funny, but also makes a good point. I am, by no means, saying that money is bad or evil or unnecessary. These influential people just warn us that money is not the end all be all reason for living, but a means for living. Money is a temptation, and we must practice restraint with it or money problems will consume us. Diana was a smart woman. Sure, we’d rather be poor and happy (wouldn’t we?), but we wouldn’t choose to be poor. I think if we substitute her “moderately rich and just moody” for “frugal, creative and content,” we will all live better lives. What do you think?
