The above link is to the video about Tom Monaghan.
I really enjoyed this video and learning about Tom. Tom was the founder of Domino's Pizza. He was really wealthy, and in fact in the mid-80's Domino's was responsible for over 54% of the pizza delivery business. Tom has a lot of money, but after he almost hit rock bottom and was obsessed with worldly things, he decided that he was going to live life as a poor millionaire.
In some of his selfless endeavors he has started a university. Donated lost of money to great purposes. He even now lives in a dorm room on the campus of his university.
I learned that being happy doesn't come from worldly possession, but they come from being selfless and helping everyone around you accomplish the goals they wish to accomplish. That is actually why I want to be wealthy. Yes, it will be nice to not have to worry about money or anything. But the main reason it so I can help everyone around me accomplish what they want to accomplish. And I honestly think that is a great goal!
