I was wondering about it recently and that's right... I really encorauge you all to do it. If you read what nobody reads AKA TMF , Unscripted , Business Secrets from the Bible and Many others you'll definitely know what many others won't and it all starts on thinking, if you think differently you'll get different results. For example, I was reading the book Business Secrets from The Bible and the author was explaning about the difference between gaining money and earning money. If you think about gaining money it doesn't sound right. It sounds like one entity is " GAINING " and the other one is " Losing" and it's not how it should work. Is it right if your client lose? Answer: Probably Not!
The right word to use should be to earn money and it means doing something valuable and being greatly rewarded for it in the form of inner gratification, money, happiness and charity.
Some of you may not know, but in some languages there's not a clear distinction between earning and gaining money and it leads inevitably to mistakes. That's one of the reason, for example, that Spanish Countries and Latin American Countries struggle to prosper. The roots of this evil is on the language. For me, Despite having no equivalent word to "Earning Money" in Portuguese that translates the same meaning as English does, I have fortunately learned the word Earning Money and it's good to know it. In Portuguese we only have " Ganhar Dinheiro " and in Spanish it's " Ganar Dinero " and these words would translate to both gaining money and earning money, however without making any distinction about its nuances. Those languages leads its users to mistake while thinking about making money.
