Finance Job Rabbi Rabbi Celso Quotes

He never addressed it as infidelity. To Jordan Belfort and his men, sex with a Blue Chip was a reflex of sorts – a kind of spasm or procedure or 'niche-service', useful as a form of stress relief; as the girls were never regarded as fully human, there were no problems. There were, the brokers felt, certain liberties to which men of power were entitled. ~ Antonella Gambotto-Burke

The world always pays you less than you are worth. Don't sell yourself short even further. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

I believe that the true definition of wealth is loving what you have rather than what you don't have. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

In my mind, the function of the bank is to save your money. The bank should not cost you money. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

I was thinking a lot about the aftermath of bad choices, how people deal with the trauma of having survived trauma, if that makes sense, and so I wrote about this character's last day on the job, how after spending 15 years pretending to be a rabbi, he'd in effect become a rabbi. ~ Tod Goldberg

When I counsel people who have been following God's principles and have reached a point at which they can afford to drive any car that they want, they often ask me, "Rabbi, since my budget is not the problem, how do I know if I have bought too much car?" My answer is that if, when you buy the car, the picture that comes to your mind is other people seeing you in the car, you are buying too much car. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

No one wanted the job. What had seemed one of the least challenging tasks facing Franklin D. Roosevelt as newly elected president had, by June 1933, become one of the most intransigent. As ambas-sadorial posts went, Berlin should have been a plum - not London or Paris, surely, but still one of the great capitals of Europe, and at the center of a country going through revolutionary change under the leadership of its newly appointed chancellor, Adolf Hitler. Depending on one's point of view, Germany was experiencing a great revival or a savage darkening. Upon Hitler's ascent, the country had undergone a brutal spasm of state- condoned violence. Hitler's brown- shirted paramilitary army, the Sturmabteilung, or SA - the Storm Troopers - had gone wild, arresting, beating, and in some cases murdering communists, socialists, and Jews. Storm Troopers established impromptu prisons and torture stations in basements, sheds, and other structures. Berlin alone had fi fty of these so- called bunkers. Tens of thousands of people were arrested and placed in "protective custody" - Schutzhaft - a risible euphemism. An esti-mated fi ve hundred to seven hundred prisoners died in custody; others endured "mock drownings and hangings," according to a police affi davit. One prison near Tempelhof Airport became especially no-torious: Columbia House, not to be confused with a sleekly modern new building at the heart of Berlin called Columbus House. The up-heaval prompted one Jewish leader, Rabbi Step ~ Erik Larson

In the end of the day it matters much more how wise you spent your money than how much of it you have gathered.
Because the most important tool to measure your financial maturity is based uniquely on the first part of the question and the ability to keep money is more important than the ability to make money.
Rabbi Celso Cukierkorn ~ Celso Cukierkorn

To me designing has never been a job or profession. It's a way of life, like a priest or rabbi. ~ Ed Benguiat

Though there were many auspicious signs that preceded and accompanied Jesus's birth that might have prepared us for something kingly and special, the birth of Jesus was of the humblest peasant parentage in an unimportant town and in the lowest conceivable of buildings, a stable. After his birth he moved from there to a despised portion of the country, Galilee, to an unsavory town, Nazareth. As he grew up, he took a blue-collar job as a carpenter. He achieved a measure of notice as an adult when he was a rabbi with several men and women following him, but even then he went out of his way to reject marks of status by touching lepers, washing the feet of his followers, befriending little children, letting women become prominent in his entourage, and finally being crucified under the most humiliating circumstances.
Everything about Jesus spoke of servitude. ~ Eugene H. Peterson

Luxury items are those things that are mass-produced by a third party and marketed to us to purchase so that we can express our individuality. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

If you follow these simple truths, you will gain control over your financial future, and probably be able to accumulate millions and millions of dollars. These truths are not just about money, but about self discipline and the proof of love between yourself and your family. While I have gleaned these truths from the wisdom of the Jewish people, they will work for anyone in any setting regardless of religious background or income level. This is the oldest financial system in history and the only one that has survived the test of time. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

The financial game is a team sport. God established a covenant with Noah after the flood, and later he established a covenant with Abraham. A covenant is an agreement between two parties. In order to prosper, you must establish what I call a "carevenant" with your family ~ Celso Cukierkorn

Leverage is a term that makes us sound very sophisticated and wise when we use it. Let's analyze what it really means. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

When we give away at least 10 percent of everything that we earn, in essence we perform an act of purification, cleansing all of the negative energy that our money carries. We remove just a small portion – the 10 percent of the earnings that represent and will create obstacles and challenges in our lives. # ~ Celso Cukierkorn

Given the circumstances, I think the rabbi did a very good job. What did you think?"

Far too many people are signing up to become slaves to their credit card companies. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

Today, we are the only people who are more likely to own a professional sports team than to play for one. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

If you spent your life trying to be LIKE EVERYBODY, you will only succeed at BECOMING A NOBODY. (Rabbi Celso Cukierkorn Bestselling Author and Speaker) ~ Celso Cukierkorn

Life would be so much easier if everyone read my book ~ Celso Cukierkorn

Instead of hunting and gathering, instead of farming and harvesting in the area where we live, we are flying God's fruits and vegetables around the planet, not eating foods designed for our terrain and climate. We are distributing, selling and consuming "fresh foods" (or so the package says) days and weeks after they have been harvested. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

Remember that while Christians say "Jesus saves," we Jews say "Moses invests. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

You have to let go of what is holding you back. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

My people have more know-how in dealing with money than any other people on earth. It is not just a stereotype. I have traveled the world, and everywhere I go, Jews are always represented within the wealthiest sector of people in their countries. During the last 2,000 years, Jews have been expelled or turned away from almost every country in the world, but over and over again, they have been able to re-settle, start from nothing, and build significant wealth in new lands. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

We use money that we don't have to show off to people that we don't even like. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

My grandfather created a fortune that allowed him to live in luxury. He also went on to build the first industrial building in an area of San Paulo that eventually became one of the largest wholesale neighborhoods in the world. When my grandfather passed away, he left millions of dollars to my family as an inheritance. That inheritance, however, would have been worthless if he had not also given us his legacy of personal responsibility and work ethic. My grandfather refused to be defined by others, therefore setting not only the value of his product, but also of himself and his family. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

Through the ages, many different groups have called themselves victims. Some came through wars and massacres. Some were slaves or minorities. But the Jews, who have always been victimized throughout history, don't see themselves as victims. We see ourselves as survivors. The difference between survivors and victims is that survivors go on with their lives after a tragedy, whereas victims continue to wallow in self-pity. ~ Celso Cukierkorn

We Jews created the concept of good luck. Luck in Hebrew is mazel, which is not actually a word. It is an acronym for three words:
1. makom = place
2. zman = time
3. lamud = work ~ Celso Cukierkorn

Nature is behaving with us like that elderly rabbi to whom two men went in order to settle a dispute. Having listened to the first, the rabbi says: "You are in the right." The second insists on being heard. The rabbi listens to him and says: "You're also right." Having overheard from the next room, the rabbi's wife then calls out, "But they can't both be in the right!" The rabbi reflects and nods before concluding: "And you're right too." A ~ Carlo Rovelli

I see the role of a rabbi or a pastor in general sort of like the role of a quarterback who throws the ball a little bit ahead of the receiver - that is you want to make people run just a bit to catch up to the message that you offer. ~ David Wolpe

The results you produce open doors for greater opportunities ~ Sunday Adelaja

God answers every prayer, Rabbi Schumann once told him, years ago. Mostly His answer is 'no'. ~ Paul Russell

Time is taken to derive wisdom ~ Sunday Adelaja
