Of the riches and stitches ..

O well.. just had a lively discussion with friends regarding the rich and poor issue. XD Now then, money? What are money?What does it mean to you? I dunno about you guys but for me, money might be the root of evils,but it may also be the essence of happiness =D

People say you can't buy everything with money...True! Nevertheless, the converse of it is also true.You can't buy anything without money!There are no free lunch in this world.In this modern era of globalization , the law of jungle still applies but only in different concept."Survival of fittest " applies here.... but instead of fighting with strength and pointless struggles to gain power,we fight with brains and intellects to gain money,to get rich!

My friend told me , "the rich will get richer,and the poor will get poorer " This fact is indeed true.Therefore , for the poor people, (such as yours truly T_T) to breakthrough of this poverty and gain money,in my opinions, there are 2 and two general and most common ways to get rich :

1)To follow the standard procedure, which is getting good educations, getting good jobs and in the end gaining a steady income. But this needs modal meaning you need to have a solid foundation and money to be in good college or smart enough to get scholarships.

2)To breakthrough with brand new ideas.*I.e creating new market, creating new industries which will gain immense popularity *

And of course there are several other methods which .. by pure luck , *i.e getting lotteries* or by miracles *i.e money dropped from the sky ?hehe XD*

Now to talk about the factors that affecting wealth...
From my point of view, i would say parents would play a big role in affecting your wealth.Inheritances from the parents will be the starting line.Here, i would like to coin this paragraph from wikipedia's article regarding wealth.

"

The upper class

Inheritance establishes different starting lines. The majority of those in the upper class have inherited their wealth and place a greater emphasis on wealth than on income. Upper class children are taught about investments and accumulation. They are trained and conditioned, technically and philosophically, to handle the wealth that they will inherit and how to earn more later in life. Wealth and being a member of the upper class requires significant prior preparation and familiarization

"

Here we can clearly see how parent's wealth affects their child...Of course mental awareness of the child to manage money wisely is also equally important.But according to my friend,it seems that i am still missing a factor eh... I would reckon that another factor might be "one's attitude to view life positively and realistically" This,in a sense would be one's attitude to think optimistically and also to be able to work it out logically and realistically.NOt to be swindled easily by some scams. *I.e skim cepat kaya* =D

Well, i guess that concludes my post on riches XD oh what about the stitches, u might ask ?Well,when one experience hardship while earning money,thats when the stitches comes in!Money don't just come falling in from the sky...We need to work for it..Especially the poor ones..
