The lady took her niece's hand and ushered her to sit next to her. She was in her late fifties. Her hair was gray and there were some wrinkles under her eyelids, despite all that, she looked firm and commanding. She was rich, famous and powerful. Her husband died ten years ago leaving her no kids but a great fortune. She has been managing this for a long time. The companies that deal with the petrol were more than five major ones. Two in America, one was in Britain. For the other two companies, one was in the gulf area and another one was in Venezuela. There were also the branches for those companies scattered all over the world. she wanted to train her niece to take care of this huge responsibility.
Her niece was seventeen and she wanted her to understand how to manage such huge companies after her death. She was telling her about power. The girl was thinking that money was the power. Her aunt told her that money was only a mean to get you somewhere. Power is the target. If you own the power, money can come easily. The aunt was hoping for the head of the parliament. She was elected as a member six years ago, and she was trying to get to that post since then. That is why she wanted her niece to think about power. But her niece is absolutely different from her. She thinks money is power. You can buy voters to elect you and vote for you. Or you can pay to get whatever you desire, as long as you have the ability to pay for it.
The girl came and sat beside her aunt. It is useless to discuss the matter with her. Each party is convinced with his own ideas. The aunt started to tell her niece to think about power seriously. There is something which cannot enter the little head of that girl. She thought to herself, we have more than fourteen companies all over the world. Our monthly net profit is nearly more than one seventy million dollars a month. My aunt is driving me crazy. What does she need? What is there to be put into consideration?

dara,nice story written in a pretty good understandable english.
Just I wonder whether you are going to become a tale author. You always write educational stories.
Ifcharisto Evamgelina! Thanks for pressing the like button of that blog!
Tantan sayang, semoga kabar kamu baik! Kamu dimana? Lama di online. That sentence was said by that lady to the young one. She was convinced that power is the main thing and money comes after it. I agree with you, Tan. Step by step is the safest and easiest to reach what you are hoping or what you intend to do. Thanks, Tan for your nice comment!
i agree with this sentence "If you own the power, money can come easily", we have to build a power and maintenance it in positive area, many cases people want power actually compromising the rights of others, i prefer the people who learn step by step, then appreciated by many people and finaly have a good power.
thanks for share sir dara, your writing is always interesting
Very good & interesting article. Liked to read the story. Thanks for sharing dear Dara sir.
Kamila kha Selam? I guess, you side with that young lady. Her aunt wants power. I am in a hole now, but I told Mr. Abdennour about waiting to hear opinions of other members. Thanks for explaining your point clearly!
Shookran bizzaf ya Abdennour! It seems that
Shookran bizzaf ya Abdennour! It seems that you agree with the lady Selam. The aunt wants power but her niece wants money. Inside both women's heads, there are different views. I, myself cannot tell which? Nour, let's listen to other member's opinions.
I don't think there is power with out money.The backbone of power is money. Those countries who are powerful are rich,those peoples who are rich can put their leader,even if in marriage the one who get well paid is more powerful than the other. SO money it source of power.
We should have the power to create money, but power without money is nothing.
