Its a motley fool article. I posted this up a couple days ago.... Breh... we might know each other.
Edit: Nah, that's the yahoo one. I still put it up.
And I agree with the list. It's very logical.
oh really.
how did paris hilton become rich? did her parents teach her? yes. but they didnt have to teach her anything. she inherited their riches. and inherited their access which is even better then a couple of million in your pocket.
you can push a bad idea off on some big money folk if you already run in the circles of big money folk. do this a few times eventually thru trial and error you may find out what actually works and can turn a profit. now can a broke person do this? NO. why not? because he/she was not LUCKY enough to be born into a rich family.
so how would a broke person become rich without straight up cheating and stealing? have a great talent that can be monetized. not everyone has a great talent that can be monetized. not everyone can rap like Jayz, or shoot like kobe. Not everyone has great ideas like some thinkers.
so the reality is, this list while some things ring true. the reality is MOST people will always be average. because thats what AVERAGE is, MOST PEOPLE. and there's nothing wrong with that at all. there's nothing wrong with using everything God has given you to try to make it pop then find yourself only doing okay for yourself. okay enough to get all your needs and a some of your wants(not all). all of your wants and desires are not necessary to begin with. and would probably do more harm to you then you even know.
#21 should've said money cant buy you sanity. ask lindsay lohan, how's about amy whinehouse, etc, etc.
truth is, the only reason you should be rich. is if you inherit it. luck up and win the lotto. OR you come up with a great idea/talent that people or someone wants to invest in that blows up. OR you work with someone who has said idea on the ground level during start up and you blow up with them. if these things listed do not occur. you're not a loser. nothing is wrong with you. its not the life that you are to live. now that doesnt mean fold up and stop trying to follow your dreams. not dreams of being rich. dreams of doing things you love to do that hopefully someone will pay you for. it just means stop trying to get rich. and try to do you. if you become rich doing you. great, if not. great. when you learn that then you'll be spiritually rich. thats that Jesus rich.
