What do you do when you meet people who are financially or economically in a better position than you? Let us all be honest here.. we sometimes compare ourselves to our peers and see if they are doing better than us. There are times where, whether it is good or not, we can tell they are doing better in life. Of course we do not know their struggles but we know that financially they are quite more comfortable than you.
In that case, should you try to fake your own situation as to not get pity or should you be honest? When I encounter people who are financially ahead than me I just think that it will be me someday... That I will reach that level too where I would be able to buy whatever they can. So basically I try to make them my inspiration. Do you take inspiration from the rich people or do they make you feel worse?
Why lie, just tell the truth, who knows, from this conversation you may get benefits and good relations between you and him. Take motivation or inspiration from people who have succeeded, for ourselves I think that is very good, we can learn a lot from them. Usually most successful people, many of them copy from various kinds of businesses or other characteristics. In the business world, there is nothing new, there will only be a little innovation or change in line with the developments of the times themselves.
