Rich People vs. Poor People

[jonz]

unsay objective sa TS w his title? are u asking if we agree or disagree sa enumerated statement/slogans?
broad kau ang subject matter,so its difficult to agree or disagree..but para nako ang difference namong poor from rich well depende unsang aspect atong hisgutan...somebody here said rich are materialistic,being materialistic can be seen in both rich and poor people depends na sa lifestyle sa tawo...others said rich people think big,so are poor people they think big man sab,as to achieving their big goals it boils down to the individual's capability,hard work,perseverance combine w gud luck and timing...i as a poor person resent the rich cos they have all material things they need and want,comfortable living and their privilege to go on holiday trips...now i realized that i should not envy them instead be inspired of what they have achieved...

a note lang, dont blame us poor for being poor kay oftentimes its not that easy to climb the ladder of success...katong nag-ingon ngari na mga pobre dli mu-cooperate sa community,that is true but dli sab tanan.depende jud na sa tawo na atong hisgutan.bottom line ani usu gud poor is most vulnerable to exploitation and abuse thus hindering self-improvement.

and lastly,defining rich or poor is subjective. i may consider myself rich even if i dont have a car or mansion but having only what my family needs. a businessman may say he is poor cos his venture operates on bank loans and mortgages...

sa mga rich istoryans, how can u help a poor istoryan realize her big dream?

PEACE to all!

if you think you are poor you will be poor so think rich........
the way to go is business coz employement you will not get rich at all
Im also working and business at the same time but i just cant see myself working for the rest of my life so I started business every big start small... right? everyone want to be rich but not everyone is willing to pay the price....some dream and remain dreaming and few wakeup to work hard
if you want to be rich think not onoy for yourself but the people that matters most to you like your famiy that you want to provide them better future and your contribution later on to the community
if you have big dreams start working to achieve it wake up dont remain dreaiming, you should be doing the right things to achieve that dream of yours coz there will come a time that you really really work hard but wala dyapon naabot imong mga pangandoy, check the things that you are doing or check the person doing that one mga 5 years if you can wala then there must be raelly worng with what you are doing, observe the people ahead of you mao ny pina kasayon if you like what there life then do what they are doing if not then do something different... they call that one Experience....
God blesseses excellence not mediocraty

[bleed214]

i've read quote somewhere that says, "It's not your fault/sin to be born poor, its ur fault/sin if you die poor", or something to that effect ^_^.

great topic, ive learned a lot from this.

for me it doesn't matter if i am one of it, whether rich or poor. as long for me, i am spiritually rich. rich people can't bring all those wealth to heaven and if your poor and don't have the spiritual wealth, then you can't enter easily to heaven as well.

[smurky]

youre right.. physical wealth dili madala sa langit

what would you feel if your "spiritually" wealthy and the same time your "physically" wealthy
and "mentally" wealthy? a real wealthy life kay dapat balance sa tanang aspect...

instead of using the title "Rich People vs. Poor People"(this is the title in T Harv Eker's chapter 2 The Millionaires Mind) i should have changed the title to SUCCESSFUL people vs. UN-successful persons...

others get offended with the word "poor"... (you must remember, "POOR" in this topic is a state of mind and not the physical state)...

this thread means not to step on anyone and we respect individuals disposition in life...

Are You Playing The Money Game? (by: Malcolm P)

Earning money is a game.

If you know and play by the rules, then you
reap your rewards.

If you don't, well then no matter how hard you
work, how hard you struggle, you won't get
anywhere.

Don't you ever wonder why some people earn
five times, ten times, or even twenty times more
than the rest?

Are they twenty times smarter?

Do they work twenty times harder?

Or are they just twenty times luckier?

None of the above.

Many of those people might even have been
twenty times lazier than you were in school.

They even probably had twenty more F's than
you did but they're twenty times wealthier than
you are now.

So now you might be asking yourself, "What
happened? Where did I go wrong?"

What happened is that they know how to play
the game. They know how to make their money
work for them.

Yes, we learn a lot from school.

We learn reading, writing, science and math.
We learn literature, essay-writing, chemistry,
physics, algebra, and trigonometry. We even
learn social studies and religion.

But no one ever taught us how to earn money;
they tell us to get a job, that's all.

What are we going to do with money? No one
ever taught us what to do with money.

No one ever taught us how to manage our
money or how to invest it when money is the
most important subject in our adult lives!

Now, that's just insane, not learning about
money when you'll be dealing with it 'til the day
you die!

A lot of people say money isn't everything.
And, yes, to some extent that's true.

Money isn't everything. You also have your
family, your love life, your friends, your health.

But what a lot of people forget is that
everything is money.

You know why?

Because without financial security, without
financial independence, we would be burdened
by money too much that we might end up
overlooking the really important things.

The everything-that-money-is-not: your family,
your relationship, your friends, your health.

All of us have heard of at least one person in
our lives who had parents who were so busy
earning money that they forgot the other
important things in life like their family or their
wife or husband.

The fact is, whether we like it or not, we
need money to live. Life is everything.
Everything is money.

All our lives, we've been rammed so hard with
things like, "Study hard, get good grades, get a
good job, and you're set for life"; "Investing is
risky"; "Don't play with stocks"; "Don't be so
stingy"; and other things like that.

We've been brought up to think that money is
evil. But money is only evil when you make evil
things out of it.

The fact is, money is just paper.

Look at it; it looks like paper. Smell it; it
smells like paper. Try burning it; it burns like
paper. Heck, it is paper!

You see, money is essentially a symbol. It
simply exists to make trade easier. It's there
for practicality's sake.

Just imagine if we kept the barter system up
until today. You know how complicated that
could get?

Say you wanted a new car. If we were in the
barter system right now, what would you trade it
in for that has the same worth as a car?

A lot? A yacht? A home theater system? A
thousand expensive cellphones?

How do you equate the worth of one object to
another?

If I was the car salesman, it would be so easy
to say that the car I'm selling is worth a house
by the beach and a yacht.

How could you argue with that?

With money, trade is fairer. If I tell you that
the car is worth $30,000 and you ask why, I
can count its features that make it worth
$30,000.

If you're not satisfied, I can ask the company
for the breakdown: the cost of each material,
cost of production, transportation, the
electricity we use to display it, and the labor.

See, it's easier to justify numbers than words
or objects.

Besides, wouldn't it be funny if we earn
objects instead of money?

Just imagine getting different objects for
every payday.

Your boss will come up to you and say, "Since
this is your first month, you get a chair for the
work you did. Next month, you'll be getting a
table. Once your probationary status is over,
you get a kitchen showcase."

Imagine that.

All I'm trying to say is that you need to
unlearn some things that have been rammed into
your head forever.

Money isn't evil. You are if you do evil things
with it!

It doesn't have some sort of special power
that hypnotizes you into doing evil things. You
don't let money control you. You control money.

And that's how you can get wealthier too; by
controlling money.

By learning how to double it. By learning how
to invest it and use it to your advantage.

You should erase all these anti-wealth
information from your head or else you might end
up working hard all your life, going around and
around in the rat race only to end up broke and
unhappy.

Don't wait 'til it's too late to realize these
things. Get out of the rat race and pave a path
of financial abundance and independence.

"poor" is just a reason not to move on... this is the code of a lazy person.... life is abundance is up to us to grab it....
