Wealth vs. Poverty - Where do you fall?

When the rich make war, it's the poor that die. I don't know how accurate this statement is, but I read it somewhere, and it just got me thinking. Those in poverty and those enjoying abundant wealth are two very different sides. One has money, and the other doesn't. But, what does that mean about the opposing sides' morals and their values?

Poor people don't have much to live by. Maybe they have a family, and maybe they have a shopping cart with their few possessions, and maybe they even live in a box. Wealthy people have an insurmountable supply of cash that they can do whatever they want with (don't call me out on this exaggeration, please - I'm making a point). They usually have a family, along with countless other priceless objects. They live in mansions.

It seems that there would be some divergence between what each side would think as wrong and right. Maybe those in poverty are the lucky ones. I'm sure they place a higher value on time well spent than on money well spent. They are probably just thankful to be alive. There's nothing wrong with that. They see the important things in life, like what good a nice walk and some fresh air can do for you. What's so bad about realizing how fortunate you are to have what you have?

However, most of these people have less faith. It's a probability that they believe God isn't watching over them because of the misfortune that they have. Or maybe they just don't believe in God at all, because they figure He hasn't helped them out yet, so why should they believe He exists? In my opinion, that is an unfortunate outlook because I believe that everyone should have faith, and God does always come through, even if it takes a little bit of time.

The people who are at the top of the food chain, AKA rich, place a higher standard on material things. They are oftentimes distance from their family because they are always so busy, and forget what is really essential for a healthy and moral life. Then, sometimes they become conceited, arrogant, and braggadocios.

Why is it that those who have everything lose sight of what really matters and those who have so little can still see the bright side of life? It amazes me to see that in everyday life. One of the nicest and most intellectual guys I know makes a living out of selling newspapers on a street corner downtown. He loves life, and is a very social, giving guy. My neighbors actually make cookies for him sometimes. It's because he deserves better, but he enjoys selling those newspapers to everyone. Don't ask me why, because I know he could get a better job, but he just likes what he does and wouldn't hear a word against it.

And as for the wealthy side.I know many of them give to charities and help the poor a lot, but what about the selfish ones who don't? It's not right that there are some people out there with so much to give, but who are unwilling to offer anything to those who are really in need.

So, tell me; which side is the lucky one?

Think about it. DOPE.

Time Is Money.....

Think about that phrase for a few............Then find out what it REALLY means below. Continue reading.

HOURS WORKED	HOURLY RATE	THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE REALLY WORTH
12 hours	$52.08	$99,993.60
8 hours	$78.13	$150,000
4 hours	$156.25	$300,000
*12 & 4 hour rates are based on the $150,000 annual income.

Salary is one thing, but let's put things into perspective here. Your buddy who's bragging about is $150,000 salary but working 12 hours a day really isn't clocking in all that dough. the reality of the situation is that efficiency is the key to making more money, as well as having more leisure time. Most people don't realize that being efficient really affects what you're worth. Is this day and age that;s all that counts. Some people take four hours to complete what others do in eight, and that in turn, makes more money. check the chart because numbers don't lie, and for crying out loud, get more efficient.

As you can see, at 12 hours you are basically cutting into not only your personal life but this is will also affect your bottom line because your net worth per hours is diminished by over 40 percent. However, if you can push and get all your work accomplished in just four hours, and you keep that efficiency going for another four, you, in theory, can double your annual income by pushing yourself and focusing all your effort to making $300,000 a year! Remember, "Men lie, women lie, numbers don't" So let's get moving! -
