Advantages Of Being Poor. by misreal(m): 7:45pm On Dec 31, 2014 |
WEIGHT LOSS Think about all the weight you could lose if you couldn’t afford all the delicious meals you enjoy every day. It’s really hard to have the necessary self-discipline to avoid a meal but if you are poor you don’t need that discipline simply because you don’t have food. Imagine if the financial circumstances make it impossible for you to eat; it would be like having your own personal diet coach, and having it for free! Poor people don’t have business meetings, work conferences or job training all day long; they just have free time to spend inside their little houses. Without obligations to their shareholders, partners and regional managers, they can just take off spontaneously and take naps on their small beds. MISCONCEPTION.. Poor people have the wrong idea that being rich is a piece of cake but we know it is absolutely exhausting. We have so many possessions to manage and worry about, many businesses to keep going and inversions to preserve that we are always trying to figure out how to simplify our lives because it’s very time consuming having to manage a fortune. Poor are extremely lucky, they don’t have nothing to simplify because their lives are naturally simple since they don’t possess anything and they have nothing to care about. We are all day trying to prioritize and decide how to spend the little free time we have in our hands; poor people don’t have that struggle, they can spend the entire day doing nothing thanks to their lack of possessions. Sometimes when I listen other rich people trying to build orphanage in Africa or get financial aid to poor countries I realize how mean they are, why would they like to take all this happy poor people out of poverty and take away the reason of their happiness. It’s also true that poor people can easily became rich just by stop doing poor people activities like not going to work or not investing wisely but clearly they don’t want to. They are poor because they want to, and that’s because they know that it’s so much fun. That’s why they don’t travel, don’t learn languages and are always thinking about mundane things like being hungry or paying bills. Poor people have everything we have, just smaller Poor people have a lot less money than we do to spend on their houses so their houses are not as nice as ours. Maybe they only have one house or they can only afford one or two bedrooms in that little house but all those details are not important. If you have the right perspective, you can be as comfortable as you are without having 3 rooms to select where to sleep every night. My point is, poor people always make a big deal about not being able to afford this or that when the truth is that they can have anything that we have, just smaller. They may not be able to afford a nice car but why can’t they be happy using the bus? Not everything needs to be done the way we do it, trust me. Success..... Being poor is something you have to be grateful for because being poor empowers and motivates. If you’ve got nothing then you’ve got nothing to lose. The biggest deterrent of success is fear and you can avoid the fear of losing money by being poor. Poverty also harnesses your talents because without money you have to use them to survive and that boosts ambition. When you grow up having everything you don’t have a reason to effort because feeling material fulfillment lead us to believe that there is nothing else to achieve in life. Poor people don’t get that feeling and there’s where ambition comes from. |

They're are actually real advantages to experiencing extended periods of poverty . Though not for tht to be your perennial state. If you learn d lessons in tht period you'll come out a better person for life. You use things longer you really squeeze out the utility in a thing and use things for extended periods, where otherwise you'd hav thrown them away. Using things for longer periods actually increases the psychological satisfaction from using it. You have greater Freedom from buy-ities Societies, self definition concept of a happy person is some1 up to their neck in stuffs. More stuff than they need. Some hav clothes in their ward robe theyve never used until they got obsolete! Y tht waste ? Buyities. Not having money to waste saves ufrom this fever. You develop and enjoy simple pleasures With no distracting gadgetary, the poor chill out by age old human interaction. Chatting,having small talk , enjoyng the rythms of nature. How much are these pleasures worth? You dont value them till theyre gone. You learn to subsist on less Some people have gotten so used to affluence, that things literally own them. They need all kinda money to buy all kinda things,they think they must have to be alive. Some women's cosmetic budgets alone , some guyz eat-out bills alone. Only wen they get poor do some findout they were living on junk. Wen you've gone 3 days regularly without food, you learn tht you can really live without food. Wen you hav no generator, you learn tht stayg a nite without light wont kill you. You get military grade training for free. This builds self discipline,discipline, silver spoon kids lack cuz they never had it. Which explains why most ppl born into wealth,squander their family inheritance within a lifetime . (see The Millionaire next door). You became more detail oriented. The affluent cud turn a blind eye on shortages but not those who are borderline lack victims. Every penny will be accounted for, no stray kobo runs away. You don't take things for granted and you respect money no matter the amount. You cherish the things you have more The way the poor cherish their luxuries is something to behold. It is the rich who are quick to disdain write off discard a thing simply because they can afford to. They change cars , phones,clothes,spouse etc very quickly and are quickly dissatisfied with anything . Actually, their restlessness increases. However, those who out of circumstances hav to use what theyve gat or do without really bcome keener users and more careful with whatthey have. In the end wen they hav to replace it or want to replace it, they may find out tht they had formed a bond with it and the item has a solid place in their hearts. They don't discard it like trash but gently lay it to rest like a departed loved one. |
