The Rich vs. The Poor .....

The rich want a controllable labor force to work inside their money making systems, the poor want to regain control of their life and end the discomfort of uncertainty.

A poor person waiting for a rich person to solve his problem is like a rabbit waiting for a lion to bring for it some juicy vegetables!

The rabbit may imagine that the lion should care about its well being, but the truth of the matter is that the lion only cares about a fat piece of meat - Where the rabbit gets its vegetables from is not really a primary concern for the lion. Because the lion can also get meat from antelopes!

Some lions may be intelligent enough to plant some vegetables so that rabbits hang around them! But that doesn't change the fact that the lion only cares about a fat piece of meat - the vegetable farm would in this case be just a way for the lion to save energy chasing the rabbit up and down!

Moral: If you want a change in your life, you must make the change - yourself; don't wait for rich people with "the power" to make the change for you. Their priorities may not be the same as yours.

Can "the poor" fight "the rich" and win? ...... I THINK NOT!!!

The rich are by definition people who are really (really!) good at getting what they want.

In turn, the poor are generally people who don't know how to get what they want. And they wait for things to be handed to them, AND TERMS TO BE DEFINED FOR THEM.

So, don't fight the rich. JUST BECOME RICH!!!!

Good begets more good

People become what you imagine them to be. If you imagine devils, you get devils. If you imagine angels, you get angels.

Yesterday I lost my brand new smartphone at a Nakumatt. I had a suspect in mind, but no evidence to confront him. And shouting would have just made me look like a mad man.

So together with a manager and head of security, I made a general appeal. I explained the significance of the phone to my work, promised no blow back, and even offered a reward. Then I left and came back home and left it in the Nakumatt staff hands. I got a call today, and I have the phone back - all intact. (And yet it had already been switched off immediately it got lost - a sign that it is "gone").

At the same time yesterday, my supplier let me take equipment worth 150,000/= without question. I had promised to pay immediately my customer paid.

I thought he would refuse, but he didn't. On my way out, I asked him, "what if I walk out and disappear?" He answered,  "I just know you wont, and I have actually never done this before!"

I was amazed at the level of faith he had put in me. And I suddenly got thirst to want to continue working with him more in future . I was paid today, and guess where my first stop was! I just couldn't disappoint the guy.

Good begets more good. And if you imagine you are soo clever and can outwit people, they pick up the "vibe" and respond in kind. They treat you like the hyena that you are.

Am thankful for getting my phone and data back!!!

It starts with you ...... DON'T BE EVIL!!!
