4 things make you poor

반응형

Albert Einstein says Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. 

I often see two opposite types of people at work. Some of them tend to be just rich because they are born in rich family and they have learnt from it, and some of them tend to be poor because they have many people around who have grown up with difficulty. It is inevitable. They just born that way. Of couse, all the people is equally valuable. However, after observing lots of people like them for a long time, I figured out some different habits they usually have.


1. Obssesion to coupons and discounts

Just because you have a lot of money, it deosn;t mean you don't like discounds and coupons. When I go to the supermarket, I choose 1 for 1, and so do rich people. There's nothing to loose, you know. However, it is not good to be too oncerned about discounts. Many people waste hours looking for the lowerst prices and discount coupons. These people's logic is that they could have just played video game or something if they hadn't dont it at that time, but in fact, it is the reason why they are still poor. You always have to believe that time is more expensive and valuable than money, but the poorer they are, the less valuable it is. I understand why they think that way. But they the more so, the more ferocious you have to make up your mind to fix it. But you know, this type of people always sticks to its own way. Poverty is not a style.

2. Web searching without any purpose

If working in the IT industry or on the internet itself is not your job, reduce your time with smartphone or internet as much as you can. The more fun and trivial things you do, the faster you run out of time. Once  you start watching YouTube, hours go by damn quickly. What on earth is suh an act worth? You have to think fard about what your actions are for. Thesedays, there are many young people who are desperate, and many argue that it is philosophy to just enjoy life everyday, saying You only live once-YOLO, but when he/she can't even afford hospital espenses for his/her mom, they realizes that life is not juat about those trivial philosophy.

3. It is just common to procrastinate

What does it mean to make money? If you don't make money from properties, it means that you are going to do some productive work. When something is produced and sold, money is created. In other words, it means that you can make a profit if you spend productive time on anything. But productive jobs are generally boring, That's why they say it's all hard to make money. People always try to do boring things last. It is not fun to write a diary when you're on vacation. How can we change the tendency to put off? I haven't found a suitable answer yet, However, it is very clear that the more people procrastinate things, the less money they can make.

4. No change in daily life

An outstanding person has two core abilities that differ from those general people. One is "intellectual curiosity," and the other is "problem solving ability." For those with high inomes in general, these two things are very outstanding. Some people are interested in everything in the world because they are so curious about it. And based on those knowledge, they solves a lot of problems in their own way. Everyday is a serios of changes and you can see that they are always developing themselves. On the other hand, people who can't really make money as them are not changed at all in the same period. Everyday they live is just same like past. Always something is going on in their life, but their knowledge and their quility of life are not much different. It is the inanimate act that does not change at all.


If you know what features people who can't make money show, do not do so. If you are doing that way, stop doing it. Just throw it away. If nothing is related to your life, just continue to live but harder. You don't have to be upset just because you belong those 4 things. It is an attribute everyone has, and so am I. There is only a difference of level. If you want your life to get better, you need to be changed constantly. However, you must know the right direction of change and go.
