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?

I love tha way her aunt thought. But at the time maybe I'll have the same thought with this niece. In fact we get get power by money and we can get money by power.
Saya cinta Marlin Mangeke juga! I agree with you, money can get power and vise versa, but some people like to own them both. Thanks for your nice comment.
It's a very nice story. I like it very much. Nowadays young children should study a lot so that they can get more power. And of course they will be easy to earn a lot oof money as they want
Xin chao Le Thi Hong Thanh! I agree with you. The young ones like money more than power. They think that power is within their youth. Thanks again for your nice comment.
So impressive
Shookran nazeelan ya doctora! Thanks for your impressive comment.
I like her aunt's thinking Because you can absolutely buy things almost anything in life using your money but the experiences, sacrifices, sweat and blood you put in to have that power will become your tools to stay at the top, it will become your foundation or your wall to stop all the invaders that would try to steal your property.
Maraming salamat Serioustobeexcellent! Some members chose money, others chose power. Our boss inclined to choose both of them. Imagine, you have the two of them. Of course, you have many examples in life. Thanks for your nice intervention.
Yeah, It's a better topic to talk about which one is better. The way I see it, Power, Money, or peace could not beat each other. Sometimes Money is everything. It can help to gain power. Sometimes Power is everything. To rule the world, Need both of them.
Valo achi tume, Saiful Islam! I have one of my friends, he is a refugee in your country. He used to be a rich man with his family in Myanmar. Suddenly, his house, his car, and his land, everything has just gone. vanished. The old lady is looking for power and she wanted her niece in that direction too. What do you think, Saif?
