What must I do to be saved?

Mark 10 (live everlasting is salvation):

17 And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?
18 And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.
20 But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth.
21 And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
22 Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

"Go, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven."

Is this the doctrine of the Catholic Church, that I must sell all I own and give it to the poor to go to heaven? I thought Abraham, Joseph, Solomon, and Daniel had a lot of wealth they didn't sell and give to the poor.
