You ask, "Why are some born poor, and some born rich?"

I ask, "How can I GET rich?"


There are two distinct personalities in the world. The blamer and the doer. The blamer blames everyone for his position; his parents, the government, the conspiracy. The doer doesn't blame, he goes out and seeks to improve his position.



I believe, in fact, born out of POOR parents is better for anyone's position. I was born poor - and its given me the motivation NOT to be poor when I grow up.

Some of my friends who were born rich are the opposite. They have money, but no drive. They have wealth, but no happiness. They have no motivation to better themselves in the world.


Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
