The world is divided into two. There is the rich and the poor. The rich are those who have money work for them. The poor are those who work for money.

The picture of the poor in the eyes of many is the beggar by the street who can’t afford anything. But that is the extreme case of poverty. If you trade your time for money in the bid to afford the good things of life, you are not among the rich.

The middle-class is a category designed to soothe poor people who are hardworking. It is possible to join the rich from being in the middle-class. But it is quite rare. Remember, the true definition of the rich is someone who doesn’t work for money but money works for him. And of course, they make plenty of money.

You can work to have fulfilment. And everybody needs that. But if your primary motivation for work is the pay then, you are definitely still in the game of the poor. The key is to think differently about work, life, and money.

Our society glorifies rich people. They often get turned into thought leaders of some sort. Yes, it is true they might have some wisdom, but they often mislead the public. They give advice that they don’t follow or won’t follow.
