Everything else mentioned.. and working hard to reach your goals doesn't always pay off.. but when it does it can be spectacular... and by keeping fish i learned not to read a book by it's cover. I've kept alot of fish in the past i'de never keep again, and accidentally ended up with fish i would empty my pocketbook to keep. And all life is precious, it's not the length. but the quality... I could go on... and on about the things fishkeeping has taught me about life in general. Oh... and you don't have to be financially rich to build a kingdom... just dedicated. But the money does make it easier. and on that note prolly one of the most influential things.
Money might buy you everything, haveing everything doesn't make you happy.
