The Biblical Teachings:
Does not it read like 1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain?
Does it not tell us to do according to Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you?
See The Golden Rule for Business Mat 6:33
& The Golden Rule for personal & business success
Here the summary mind-map on the last Chapter about how to govern a nation and then the world:
Lao Zi too:
Contentment is richness can also be found in Dao De Jing 33.
知人者智，自知者明。
Knowing the character of others is wisdom; Knowing oneself is enlightenment.
胜人者有力，自胜者强。
Mastering others is power and authority. Self-control is true strength.
知足者富。强行者有志。
Contentment is richness. Striving forward is commitment.
不失其所者久。死而不亡者寿
Not losing oneself will last. x Died and yet one’s legacy continues is long life.
see The Principles for Greatness: #3 Contented Yet Be Better for more details.
