Arkad smiled gently. "You ask why luck has kissed my brow, Bansir? But luck waits for no one. It is habit that builds wealth."

Arkad said. "For years, I paid everyone else: the baker, the clothier, the sandal-maker. But I never paid myself. Algamish told me to put aside no less than one-tenth of every coin I earned. Not to spend. To keep."

"Yes," Arkad replied. "But a few coppers today become a handful of silver in a year. A handful of silver becomes a pouch of gold in ten years. This is the first law: pay yourself first ." najbogatiot covek vo vavilon

And while Arkad remained the richest man in Babylon until his final breath, Bansir became the second richest—not because he inherited gold, but because he finally understood the helpful story hidden inside a simple truth:

He then told Bansir a helpful truth—one he had learned from Algamish, the moneylender who first taught him. Arkad smiled gently

Arkad’s eyes grew serious. "There is a third law: Guard your gold from loss by consulting the wise. Would you ask a baker to heal a broken leg? No. Then do not ask a brick-layer to manage your investments. I lost gold twice—once to a reckless friend, once to a get-rich-quick scheme—until I learned to seek advice from those who understand wealth. Lend only where your gold is safe."

Arkad nodded. "Anyone can do this. Save a tenth. Let it grow. Avoid loss. Do this for ten years, and you will not be poor. Do it for thirty, and you will dine with kings." It is habit that builds wealth

Bansir returned to his humble workshop, but now with a small clay pot. Every time he was paid for a chariot, he dropped one of every ten coppers into that pot. He never spent that pot. After a year, he lent the savings to a rope-maker. After five years, he bought his own donkey—and then a second.

In the ancient, sun-baked city of Babylon, a man named Arkad was known by a single, shimmering title: —the richest man in all of Babylon. His gold funded the great irrigation canals; his silver adorned the Hanging Gardens.

Yet, long ago, Arkad was a poor scribe who carved clay tablets for other men’s wages.

One evening, a former childhood friend, Bansir the chariot builder, came to Arkad’s lavish home. Bansir’s clothes were threadbare, his hands calloused. "Arkad," Bansir said, "you and I played together as boys. We both worked hard. Yet you bathe in gold, while I struggle to buy a single donkey. Why?"
