Why are some people rich and others poor? This is a common question many people ask. If people were born and raised under the same condition, why should some thrive and others, not? Many reasons have been given for this. Some say lack of education is the cause while others point to lack of inheritance as the main reason. If we take education as a factor, why are many uneducated people rich? If we also consider lack of inheritance as a barrier, what can be said of 70% of American billionaires who started with nothing? Many people consider the poor as not working hard enough. I do not know if this is true. Even if it is considered true, I would like to ask the reader a provocative question. Doesn't the poor work hard because he does not want to or because he does not know why he should work hard?
Other reasons people give to justify the difference are religion, bad habits, ignorance, bad choices, among others. Religion cannot be a barrier because there are rich people from every religion. There are also rich people with bad habits and ignorant. We have people with ignorance from both sides although the level may vary. What is then the main reason why some people become rich and others, not?
Think about one main cause for this difference. This discussion will continue in the next posts!
