Escape slavery, march toward freedom!

If you want to build a house you should first flatten the ground and lay a foundation.

Wealth brings evils to the unskilled. You see many examples of this in your daily life. The Türkmens say, “Even the beggar needs to spend some effort.” To be wealthy, you should first prepare yourself for the idea of being wealthy. Then you should learn how to maintain that wealth. Maintaining wealth is more difficult than acquiring it. This is the all the more difficult for the Türkmen. The Türkmen is generous in material and moral terms. The Türkmen is like the Hatam Ta_am, who was a generous man.

I am not arguing for meanness, stinginess or greediness. But I don’t like profligacy either. The best way is the modest way. The modest way is the Golden guide!

The Türkmen nation has access to infinite wealth. Our citizens may become richer and richer if I distribute all we have to them. But are our people ready for such richness after 70 years of poverty?

“It is the sheep that likes comfort, especially the sheep darkest in colour.”

Man needs great willpower to be able to cope with wealth. Man needs to have a comprehensive grasp of things, be wise and thoughtful to be able to cope with wealth. Dignity is essential!

One of my main goals is to prepare the Türkmen nation for the acquisition of wealth. I am making my nation adapt itself to wealth slowly. Your lives are improving day by day, year by year. Maybe you don’t notice this. But this does not escape my eye even for a single moment.
