Those Poor Vs Me Rich
I was the richer man that feel happy when he don’t have food to eat because water was always there where I go. Math was easy to solve and calculator was my hand/mouth. Education was not good but always think that education was better then those poor people who use calculator. It was better then those poor people’s education due to no computer but there was stick and ground where I can write anything and battery wasn’t down but water might wipe sometime. I was richer man then and now but live style has been change. Battery goes down on three or four day simple because I was richer to show the nature beauty with my fancy camera that cost cheaper but value is expansive. I am richer, may be more richer because I know what nature is for and what is the meaning of life.
It was a rainy day.. Rain was dropping into the ground from sky…. I was walking on the side of the road with no proper shoes but had simple camera and old map where I can find my way to my new home. I feel proud that I was unique, i 'm unique and will be unique. I can walk while others are driving.. I can’t drive, will not drive simply because I am not that poor because I am rich.. It sounds funny to say that I am rich, isn’t it? A man with bad shoes, simple camera and mobile and probably have some money to survive.. Money wasn’t a problem due to nature: water,air, crops and trees, but I was still rich… Sometime I ask myself why there are few rich people like me… The rainy days, walking into
I wholeheartedly endorse what Cottom calls “The Logic of Stupid Poor People”, that poor people buy status symbols to survive in this world. She demonstrates that, as a middle class black girl, her family had a way of turning the tables in their favor in multiple aspects in order to supply their needs and wants. Poor people buy expensive items, sometimes depriving themselves of their other needs, just for the respect of others. These items are 21st-century status symbols, they can single-handedly determine the fate of your everyday encounters. The author uses personal experiences to support her argument, persuasively changing your entire perspective and broadening your mind to another individual’s lifestyle.
His parents had constantly reminded him of his wealth, and he did get what he wanted when he wanted. But he thought that all the other children were as well off as he was.
Everyone enjoys material things, whether they want a brand new car or even a phone; these items do not provide any necessity for survival, yet they make people’s lives much easier, and even more
Money— sweeter than honey but oh so destructive. It facilitates a man’s life, while a lack of it imprisons him in the streets of penury. It raises his social status, while an absence of it leaves him unnoticed. It gives him an aura of superiority and importance among others, while a deficiency of it makes him worthless in society’s eyes. Considering these two roads, most do not take more than a second to decide to chase riches.
It seems to most that those who have money have it all. They should buy all the unnecessary “junk” that one might find pleasure in owning, take everything for granted and view lower-class individuals as a group of wanna-bes. Think again. S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders, very important propositions are portrayed through the writing techniques which link to another piece of writing “Poverty and Wealth” written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Just because you have everything, doesn’t mean you understand it's worth. Different classes have different experiences, allowing elaboration on the different characters.
Poverty in the so-called “land of the free” is downplayed and skewed by the American media conglomerates. These gatekeepers are making life harder for people below the poverty line by masking the true issues that lie beneath it. Therefore they are using their overarching power to make the rich richer and keep the poor poorer, through methods such as instilling fear in the middle class.
They allocate their time, energy, and money efficiently, in ways conducive to building wealth. Millionaires budget and also plan their investments. They begin earning and investing early in life. The authors note that “there is an inverse relationship between the time spent purchasing luxury items such as cars and clothes and the time spent planning one’s financial future”. In other words, the more time someone spends buying things
Last of all, if you follow Buddhism you can't be rich or poor you have to be in the middle according to the 4 noble of truth.According to the 4 noble truth it states that “This is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering it is the noble eightfold path : that is right view,right intention, right speech ,right action,right livelihood, right effort, right mindful”.This shows that you have to follow these commands to be in the middle path and to stop suffering.These things can be hard to do maybe if you didn't do something right but you thought you did it
The word rich is thrown around like a rock on the lake shore. Very similar to the work love, people use it like it has no meaning. Many seem to ignore the fact that there are hundreds of different ways to become rich. Of course, some are handed the money due to deaths in a family, retirement, rich ancestry, and lots of other ways as well. In my case, that is not how it worked. But for some reason, often times, close to about five times a day, I would get called rich. I was not a kid who had all the newly released hockey gear or electronics. As a matter of fact, I did not get a cell phone until I was thirteen years old. Out of my friend group, I was the very last one to get a cell phone. Growing up playing hockey, my dad had a rule that I could not purchase a stick over the price of one hundred dollars. My dad would gladly like to be the first one to tell you, hockey sticks are not cheap. Still, I would get called rich by my friends. I had a bigger house but nothing breath taking. I had four siblings and a dog, we needed a bigger house to fit all of us. Luckily growing up, I did not take much offense to the criticism. As a matter of fact, I did not really take it as criticism when I was younger. The term never really hit deep until I reached high school. The slurs continued as I attended a public high school after graduating from a private grade and middle school. Perhaps that was why kids called me rich. Shortly after my freshman year, after I took a personal finance class, the way money worked was clearer to
Many are rich many are poor many have money many don’t. Have you ever had a moment where you did something selfish for desperation of money and karma hit you right back with a right hook?. And felt regret towards yourself. In the short story “Why, You Reckon” the author uses irony and dialogue, to show the audience that money can't buy happiness.
What makes me unique is that I am not afraid of failure. When I set a goal I do not focus on whether I might or might not be successful; I concentrate on doing my best and putting all of my effort into the task. What separates me from others is the adversity I’ve been through, my diverse skills, leadership abilities, my contribution to the community, and my work ethic.
When going from a world that has material all around you to a nomadic lifestyle the items that you bring with you would become very important. What was once replaceable is now irreplaceable and become more important than gold to you. My sense of home would have left the day that I packed for the trip because I am used to the luxuries of the Americas. The simple fact of picking only five items to bring with me would have crushed my sense of security and home.
The logic of poor peoples purchases as they attempt to meet a wealth image they cannot obtain is obscene. It is impossible to provide for their families and live a rich lifestyle under little earnings. Stated by Isabel Sawhill, “None of this means that providing lower-income families with more money is necessarily a bad thing” (Sawhill). The political system works in a matter to benefit poor families with money they do not earn. Poor individuals complain about being poor while it is quite simple to overcome poverty and rely on a career. Pursuing a career and presenting a humble attitude can help with overcoming poverty and presenting a better reputation. Poor individuals need to visualize more than spending money on unnecessary items, work to flip their money without relying on the government, and be themselves not a false image.
it got tiresome and lonesome. . . . I felt so lonesome I most wished I
Consequently, a man who is “poor” in material possessions many times is “rich” in character, which is spiritually defined as the nine fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. Having friends and family members who grew up poor and who worked hard to survive to obtain material possessions, their character was strengthened or made “rich” as a result of it. They had to do the jobs that many rich people would never do, such as being a maid, construction worker, janitor and many more domestic type jobs. Although they differ in terms of definition, being “rich” and being “poor” in character can be one of the same as “poor” in spirit or humble. For example, my great grandmother was an Indian who was very poor, but you never would have known it because she was humble, kind, loving and a peaceful woman who always shared everything she had.
