Here is what the richest men on earth have to recommend to us if we want to become like them:
If you want to get rich, stop being so frightened. - Felix Dennis

So many people have a fear of failure. But do you know that as much people have fear of success? That's what the billionaire Felix Dennis, the owner of "Maxim" and "The Week" recommends. Stop fearing. Fear is the biggest paralyzing thing when it comes to having success in anything and especially about being rich and wealthy. So, eliminate fear of success + fear of failure and you have 5x bigger chances of getting rich.
I always knew I was going to be rich. I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute. - Warren Buffett

The message is clear here. You HAVE to believe you are going to be rich. Some people call this law of attraction. I experienced this personally and know it works. Simply the thought of doubt can set you back. Believing in yourself puts you in huge advantage over most people.
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose. - Bill Gates
Here it is, one of the richest men on earth (these days Warren Buffett is the richest one, Bill Gates is third) is telling us that not always it's worth learning from successes. Actually, in one of his quotes Bill Gates recommend us to learn from our failures! How can that be? Well, it's a well-known fact that you can learn a lot more from your failures than from successes. And this is an important thing to consider because once you realize it, your failures won't be perceived as failures...
Try not to be a man of success, but rather to be a man of value - Albert Einstein
Although Einstein was not as rich as Bill Gates or Warren Buffet he will probably be more remembered in history that these two. I think this is the best advice that can be given to any man who's striving of getting rich. It's not all about the money. If you go for the money, go for value too! Try to contribute something to this world and not just take away from it. The law of reciprocity to its finest.
