We live in a society comprised of two classes called the rich and the poor with a lot of differences between them. These are also referred to as the dos and don’ts of the society. The rich make up barely 40% of the population and have control over 60% of the resources while 60% of the population makes use of the remaining 40% of the resources. However, the divide between rich and poor, despite all ‘isms’ such as communism, capitalism, and socialism keeps growing all the time making the condition of the poor worse than it has all along been. However, the financial condition is not the only difference between the rich and the poor.
• Control of Life:
• Rich believe they are in control of their lives.
• Poor feel they are subject to various of life and life controls events taking place in their lives.
• Money:
• Investing in schemes to make more money is like a game for rich.
• The poor are all the time terrified of investing in the stock market with the result that more often than not, they lose money.
• It is apparent to all that the poor are playing not to lose money while the rich are playing to win more.
• Opportunities and Obstacles:
• Rich people see the opportunities while poor see the obstacles first.
• Poor keep thinking how they will overcome these obstacles whereas rich keep their focus on opportunities as they have the resources to overcome obstacles easily.
• Dreaming:
• Rich dream big and, therefore, strike rich.
• Poor dream small with the result that they have to remain content with whatever they get.
• Doers and Dreamers:
• Rich are doers; they take concrete steps to fulfill their dreams.
• Poor just dream about their dreams.
• Company:
• The company of rich people includes rich and successful.
• Poor people have the company of unsuccessful and daydreamers.
• This difference in company proves vital in deciding the future of the rich and the poor.
