Being born poor is no one’s fault but their parents. However dying poor is entirely up yours.
Are you in any way saying we have to blame the parents for being born poor or being born in a poor background? Because I don't seem to get it.
I got to thinking how come a lot of poor people stay in poverty while some manage to get out of it and make a good life. I boiled it down to two specific things: resources and character. If someone has at least a few resources, he can then try and make a living and try to expand his career furthermore. While someone with not much resources can still manage to find some if he is really determined, hardworking and willing. If you combine these two, surely you’ll get out of poverty.
But why is it that some even with the resources in front of them don’t still manage to make huge profit? Is it because of their character? Are they too lazy? Too comfortable? Not determined enough?
And why is it that some people with determination and perseverance still don’t manage to escape the shackles of poverty? Is it the lack of resources? If they were given resources, will they finally be successful?
Looking at the different people I have met, I try to figure out how and why they ended up the way they are. Are they rich because they have resources and a good character? Or are they rich because they only have good character? Are they poor because, despite the resources, they don’t have a good character?
What do you think is more important to have: resources or character?
No matter how your character is either good or bad if you are destined to be rich you will be. We have people who have good character but they are poor and we have people who have bad character and they are rich which ever way it goes. Some people don't have that luck of getting rich no matter how hard they hustle it will still end where they started. I don't think getting rich is like a button that you press and you become wealthy over night, this is how we are to be some get rich some get poor, haven't you seen a situation where a rich man eventually becomes poor and the poor becomes rich? Is like a switch and we don't need to blame anybody for being poor or brought up in a poor family or by a poor parents, that's life, there are things we can't fight against and poverty seem to be one of them.
