[mister00incredible]

your point is taken. of course, equal footing ang tanan.

living ones life is subjective..

i was wondering, are you married or single? can you give me your age range?
are you from 20-25 yrs old? 25-30? or 30-40 years old? you'll see life in
a different and better perspective when you have gained the experiences life
throws at you...

nope, the topic isnt violating anything and the posts of the people above.
if you really read between the lines, the "rich" and the "poor" nga gihisgutan
is the difference sa level of thinking... the state of mind...

we respect your opinion...

God Has Nothing To Do with our Poverty!!! - by: Bo Sanchez

"..Bo, you’re wrong. Poverty is a matter of fate…”

He came up to me right after I gave a talk on financial literacy. The man spoke to me with the gravity of a Supreme Court Justice, it scared me.

“Why do you say that, sir?” I asked.

“Because there are people who are born poor,” the man said, “And there are people who are born rich. That’s destiny. That’s the will of God.”

I winced. How could I tell him that I’ve been working for years (no, decades) with the poor—and this was the exact kind of distorted thinking that has trapped a lot of people in poverty. “God made me poor,” is an invisible placard written on the foreheads of many poor people I’ve met.

I told him, “To be born rich or poor is not a choice, that’s true. But to become rich or poor—that’s a choice that God leaves up to us.”

He looked at me as though I spoke in Swahili.

I wanted to explain myself but he wanted to ask me a very disturbing question…

God Leaves The Choice To Us

Whether To Be Rich Or Poor

“Bo, why are you teaching us to become rich?”

His tone of voice was sharp. Like he was asking me, “Why are you teaching us to murder people, burn their bodies, and eat their liver?”

He continued, “If you’re really a Christian, you should teach us to be content with where we are. Bo, aren’t you content with where you are?”

I laughed. “Oh, I’m very content.”

I never told this to him, but I’d like to tell you: Right now, if I choose to, I can stop working, deposit my money in a bank—and live on the interest. Sure, I have to simplify my lifestyle even further, but we’ll still be very comfortable.

With the interest I’ll earn from the bank, I can maintain my small house and simple car.

And yes, I can still bring out my wife for our weekly romantic dates.

And I can still bring my kids for our twice-a-year vacations. No more Macau trips, that’s for sure. But Tagaytay would be just fine.

I can even pay for our homeowner’s association dues. (A whopping P120 a month! Yes, I live in a happy third class subdivision.)

But if I stop working and live on my interest, a few things will have to change…

Life Isn’t Just About You

Today, I send a number of poor children to school. That has to stop.

Today, I finance a few missionaries. That has to stop.

Today, I provide capital for livelihood projects for the poor. That has to stop.

Today, I finance my new ministry projects in its trial period. That has to stop.

This is the reason why I’ve chosen to grow, to expand, to increase, and to become richer because I want to bless the world more.

That’s why I work very hard today!

Here’s what I learned: (1) To be content and (2) to want to grow can co-exist in your heart.

That can only happen when love rules your heart.

Technically speaking, the difference between rich and poor people is success. Rich people are normally those people who believe that hard, smart, and consistent work is the key of achieving something while poor people tend to be complacent, they get contented with what they have and what is being dealt to them. We could all agree that money is not the right basis of success but heck money is also attracted to successful people. Money works it's way to those who deserve it.

@DEMONOCIETY, I think dili DATU ang imo pasabot na daghan ug problema. I think you are talking about the Middle Class (Society thinks they are rich but are not). Truly rich people are not materialistic.. ang mga Middle Class Minded people ang materialistic.

Link or proof that truly rich people are not materialistic. I think its all subjective as someone stated. Its not black and white, but a shade of grey in all things.

Rich people are committed to being rich.
Poor people want to be rich.
Have you ever heard the saying: "the number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want?" In my experience, this is absolutely true!
Commitment comes from knowing exactly why you want to become rich. Rich people are clear that they want wealth and they are unwavering in their desire. They are fully committed to creating wealth. As long as it is legal, moral and ethical, they will do whatever it takes to create wealth.
By the way, when you read that last paragraph, if a little voice inside your head said something to the effect of "Rich people don't care if it's legal, moral or ethical," you have no idea what a detrimental way of thinking this is!

Most people would never truly commit to being rich. If you asked them, "Would you bet your life that in the next ten years you will be wealthy?" most would say, "No way!" That's the difference between rich people and poor people. It's precisely because people won't commit to being rich that they are not rich, and most likely never will be.
It's interesting to note, however, that once you do commit, the universe will bend over backward to support you!
