How RICH are you?

Nowadays people are giving too much importance to financial wealth & other assets are being ignored whereas the other assets are much more important than financial assets. Have a look & decide yourself.

  1. Financial assets: cash, bank balance, deposits, shares, gold, house, land, etc.
  2. Skills assets: What are you good at? Sports, Music, Painting, Writing, Technical / Professional skills, etc.
  3. Physical assets: Your body parts are in good condition (eyes, ears, hands, legs, heart, brain, liver, lungs, kidneys, ..) You are free from diseases. Your energy levels are high most of the times.
  4. Mental assets: You stand by your values & principles. You don't hesitate to take risks. You don't loose temper over small issues. You don't get frightened or loose sleep by threats / problems. You think positive & don't loose hope.
  5. Relations assets: a faithful, intelligent, good looking wife who can cook well too; smart & obedient children, wise parents & elders to guide you, supportive siblings, true friends who will rush to help you whenever you need.
  6. Social assets: contacts with influential, intelligent people; position of authority, your words carry weight, recognition & respect in the society.
  7. Happiness Asset: You enjoy free time with family / friends / on your own. You are happy from within & smiling all the time.
  8. Blessings asset: You have blessings of Saints, Guru, Parents & elders. Luck favors you.
  9. Knowledge asset: You are aware of self, world & beyond the world. You know where you have come from & where you have to go back.

Pradeep, out of your list, I value the physical assets the most, without which most of the others are useless. In fact, being healthy and fit and relatively less asset heavy is better than being a diabetic CEO in the top 10 list. Yashodhar

Pradeep agree with your Rich list and Yashodhar's priority to physical assets. In my opinion, Physical assets should include not only yours but also your spouse, kids and dependents.
My second preference goes to Mental assets and Relationship Assets.

You have captured many relevant points, I appreciate.
