Did You Take A Vow Of Poverty?

It is not always that we know just exactly what we are up to, sometimes our emotions control us to the extent that we can do what we don't want to do just when it is quite inconvenient. That is how the game of poverty is like A lot of People want to be RICH, a lot of People want to be WEALTHY, every child wants to be an adult of means, able to buy whatever s/he likes, able to travel the World and not to know a life of lack and deprivation; yet as we mature from childhood to adulthood, we slowly lose those dreams of ours and begin to conform ourselves to what is confronting us. We get schooled without being educated And even after Schooling, if we are lucky to find a job, it is one that we love to hate because it is never bringing in enough money to sort out our life challenges. We earn just to survive We are far from really living the life that we are born to live. And so we continue to struggle, living from day to day, from hand to mouth,

The World Outside An Ivory Tower

Most of the times, students live in a surreal world, a world of make belief, a world where all they need to make it in life is a Certificate and so they struggle hard to acquire the Certificate to the detriment of being educated. However when they are out of School and enter the real World, they find out that success is not dependent on their Certificates. In the real world outside of academics, something much more than just school grades and First Class Degree is required. Some call it "guts", "balls", "audacity", "tenacity" and brilliance. This factor, whatever it is labelled, ultimately decides one's future much more than school grades. Often in the real world, it's not the smart that gets ahead but the bold. The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them everyday. They ar e all around us.  I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.

The True Millionaire Lifestyle

Most people want to be millionaires, and those that don’t are more than likely lying, or products of the Depression and truly don’t want the burden of having that kind of money to worry about. So, most people want to be millionaires. When it comes to wanting to be a millionaire though, most people that want to be one aren’t thinking of what the numbers in their bank accounts are saying. They are thinking about the lifestyle. The millionaire lifestyle. To some the millionaire lifestyle comes in the form of gated communities, elite country club memberships, and a social circle that is envied. To others, the millionaire lifestyle is about more vacations, more freedom, and never having to lay awake at night worrying about meeting your family’s needs again. To every person the notion of the millionaire lifestyle is different, but the true essence that creates the foundation of every aspiring millionaire’s dreams is the freedom that comes with it.
