While the latter theoretically can help themselves out as Wacky pointed out, there are in reality many factors which make it a rather simplistic statement to say 'it's just there own fault'. What made you learn to 'think outside the box'? What gave you the intelligence and technical means to manage the knowledge and obtain the results you're having right now? What made you getting born at that particular spot at the first place? (Etc...) I think one shouldn't ever stop realising how lucky one must be to have all these factors pointing in the right direction... as that's not so evident as how it's assumed above. (Anyway). This said, Wacky & C°, thanks again for this interesting and much appreciated discussion.
There is no such thing as luck. Luck is when preparedness meets an opprtunity, so if you prepare yourself for any opportunity you become lucky when it eventually comes. AND IT COMES FOR EVERYONE MORE THAN ONCE.

I am not lucky, I'm just self prepared! I have always wanted to be one who doesn't conform with normal people, because normal people suffer. Period! There are self made millionaires that started with nothing but a dream so I said "why not me?". My father got sick working all his life, my mother too! My family although comfortable and financiall secure are a bunch of ignorants when it comes to money matters. I had to prepare myself or live their same mediocre working life and get sick working for a pension plan!

One doesn't need to be smart to make money... I may look intelligent because I am clever at expressing myself in writing, but I have been labeled dyslexic and having been hyperactive and asthmatic my school days were hell. I dropped out of colledge and even failed exams.

Likewise the idea that rich people are dishonest is a HUGE myth created by the poor classes because being immature they need a scapegoat! They want to accuse someone else of being the cause and that's why they remain poor. A rich person takes full responsability for financial well being even if that means going back to school and learn new stuff which looks hard at first... like I did!

On the contrary I believe that one has to give in order to receive anything worth having. Greed is a negativity that will scare away money from anyone.

Sure, there were people who tried to become rich in dishonest ways. But there is a bigger price for that. The price is that they make dangerous and powerful enemies and it's a hefty price they eventually pay for!

Your first rule if you want to be rich must be! DON'T be normal because normal=mediocre!

Don't think like the rest, don't live like the rest and don't work like the rest. Don't believe anything the rest believe. The rest are a herd of sheep... you were born to live like a human.

Second rule: Be prepared! And if you want to be prepared it is easy. Take lessons... I am giving free forex introductory lessons (check out the forex trading forum).

Also: If you realise the truth that a rich or poor person is rich or poor because of the way she/he thinks and acts. There is no luck...


It is very fair that rich get richer and poor stay poor. It only means that rewards only go to those with the right attitude and desire. How unfair can that be?


Luck is for gamblers (who mistakenly believe that risk=reward) and mentally inactive herds of people (sheep). Those who unleash their true human potential master any circumstance... they are strategist, and the world belongs to them!
