Or is your goal to have a business, prestige, fame, or power in this world? My friend, this is a very poor vision. If you were the richest, the most famous, and the most powerful man in the world, it would be only vanity and vexation of the spirit. King Solomon of the Bible had all of these things, yet he called them vanities.
Ni jambo la maana sana nia yako ku a sawa, ama unayo yatenda yasiwe sawa, hata yakiwa mazuri namna gani. Je nia yako nikua na nyumba, ama ngari, ama pesa yako kwenye banki, ama nia yako nikua na biashara, sifa kujulikana, au mamlaka ya ulimwengu huu? Rafiki yangu haya ni maono mabaya sana Kama ungali kua tayari kuliko wote na mwenye sifa kuu, na mwenye mamlaka na nguvu ulimwenguni, ingali kua tu ubatili na upotovu wa roho. Mfalume Sulemani katika bibilia alikua na vitu hivi vyote, bali aliviita ubatili.
