Power or Money

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?

  • Bahut shukriya Jesson! Thanks, Jes for pressing the like button! Can you add any briefing to it?

  • By the way, my Farsi is very very weak. I hope you help me to improve it. Thanks for coming back to My EC!

  • Khaili khob Fariba! I guess, you are with the lady. Our website founder has the same opinion. As you said, they have a strong relationship. It's very rare to find a rich man without power or a powerful man without money. Thanks, Fariba for your kind and meaningful comment!

  • Abi, main bahut pasand ap mera dost. Those who choose power are many. The aunt of that lady is happy to hear your point of view. Thanks for letting me be one of your friends and thanks for your nice comment.

  • I think power is best
  • Nanndree Harsha 0505, why the Asians, believe me, Harsha, it happens everywhere. Corruption is in everywhere. People think that it's an opportunity. While I am in this post, I should get more of those dollars. Once I leave that post I will have nothing. You agree with the old lady. Thanks Harsha for your time.

  • when it come to Asian region first consideration is the power.those who need to earn money they will enter to get power. then soon after they get the power they use their power to earn money.it may be legally or illegally their main object is to be a reach person befor they loose their power.i am taking this in terms of political back ground.so i conclude this those who have the power in this region they use that power to earn money.
  • Saya tidak tahu Fitma. tetapi bapak Josef Essberger has the opinion of having both of them. Mr. Josef went to say the example of that Roman leader, Julius Ceasor. He.  wanted both of them but He couldn't. You know something Fitma, I go with the aunt. Look at the new president-elect. Thanks Fitma for your useful and meaningful comment.

  • I think more of people want power and money for now. If some people got a money they will find power to make their position more strong. But with the people who has a power will get money from that. Now. All ij oir hand which one you like but dont use bad think with that

  • Marhabn bika ustath Tawfeeq wa baadain gaib taweela. Corruption of power is everywhere. Thanks for your nice comment on power or money!
