I strongly disagree with your view. I mean, we go to school to become better individuals, the reason we read is to pass exams. For God sake, the Bible points the gate to heaven. Reading this and applying this piece guarantees you financial success. Except you did not acquire any knowledge in school then your point has value.

I am happy to name myself..

whether you think you can or you think you can't,you are right.

[quote author=2mch]

These two points are a contradiction. Formal education and self education are almost the same thing. Where we draw the line is thinking outside of the box. life is not textbook.I think being rich is when opportunity meets preparation, hardwork and a dream. Besides the richest woman in the world inherited her money. She just used the already made connections by her fore fathers to build on the wealth. The real people that deserve the praise are those dead men who made something out of nothing.

Billyonaire: I am satisfied that 100% of those rules plus extra ones had always ruled my life. Little wonder I crossed that mark at just 25yrs of age, never to go back again.

Never mind them, nigerians can be as gullible as a toddler. that is why they enrich MOG in exchange for pastoral promises/prophecies.
reading books can only inspire and motivate one into certain actions but not to katapot them to instant riches! it can as well change the way people perceive and react to events around them. no book or article has ever made one suddenly and instantly rich. even the Law of Attraction takes time and concentration to manifest.

according to the law of Attraction, thoughts become Realities, it doesn't matter whether one is rich or poor, even those with lottery mentality sometimes get lucky and win lotteries. my point is that life has no single formula. things occur to people differently.

Well, I know I that from motivational speakers I have sat under with my current Entrepreneurship lecturer, books help to guide I tell you. Whether you believe it or not, I learnt 'thinking out of the box', 'view life differently' from a motivational speaker and since then I chose to be a problem solver just looking at my environment.

I have lots of stored up ideas which can fetch me 'a billion dollars'. They were what I read from books and motivational speakers that changed my reasoning. Everyday, I see opportunities. You can too.

True that! but seriously how many rich people do you know who made their money through winning lotteries? if several known rich people have actually achieved success through applying these formula then i guess it wont hurt me to try

I can go on and on and on. most of the people we regard as rich people in our country dont even have 1/4 of the above lottery amounts but their names make frontpages of our local newspapers.
Like i commented earlier' "As beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so is wealth in the mind of the thinker" about 12yrs ago, a man called Clifford Orji was using 3 cellphones, has money and big-man connections around the countries for human parts, do you think he was a rich/wealthy man??

Hope the above lottery winners have what it takes to sustain their prize money and possibly turn it to even more millions but I doubt we'll read about them doing that.

Clifford Orji Ke? What does a mad, cannibal have to do with riches. Aren't we discussing sane men here?

You seem to miss the point of our argument.
Everybody must see life as a problem to solve. However, it takes a lot of factors to enable you to convert those ideas of yours into actual cash, lots of it. Else they will remain just ideas.

Ever wondered why those motivational speakers always have a lot to say about business, but the only business they seem to be engaged in is the motivational speaking. The only exception would be Donald Trump, because at least he's a real billionaire and not a professional author. Which is why I take him a lot more serious than the others. Ironically, not too many people do.

at least both the rich and the poor are BOTHERED about something

Ofcourse they are both bothered about something, i am referring to them not being bother about the price of garri.

the bold are qualities of the assumed average people in paraphrase of the OP's article. let me put them together for you...Hope to sustain money i doubt
you see, while people win millions and enjoy life, others are bothered and doubting.

nice piece

Okay, hint taken.
I will henceforth desist from commenting on your threads

Dude, what are you bitter about? You made some comments and I am asking the basis on which you are making them. That is offensive in no way, it's a simple question, answer it.

Babzilla: Im sure the OP thinks like the millionaires but is dirt poor.

How did you know? I hope you don't consider it a crime.

WHATEVER SHA. THIS IS THE INTERNET WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME AND CLAIM 2 B WHAT THEY ARE NOT BUT HERE ARE A FEW FACTS.
1. NO SUCCESSFUL MAN/WOMAN WILL HAVE THE TIME TO ENGAGE IN CAT FIGHTS ON AN INTERNET FORUM TRYING TO PROVE THAT HE/SHE IS RICH.
2. NO SUCCESSFUL MAN/WOMAN WILL HAVE THE TIME SIT DOWN WASTING PRECIOUS HOURS READING BOOKS ABOUT SUCCESS THOUGHTS AND TIPS OF OTHERS.
