Who Else Hates 'Rag To Riches' Motivational Speakers? by Nobody: 7:33pm On Nov 24, 2021
I'm just venting...

I listened to a song by DJ Khaled..."grateful"... And it pissed me off! angry

I'm so tired of rich people telling us to be grateful... Like, shut the hell up!!!

This song, sang by a multi-millionaire in America...is somesort of motivational message to us struggling folk..! Can you imagine!?

First of all, being poor is not something to be grateful for... Or being sick or any other unfortunate situation one might find his/herself...

Secondly, don't fu**ing expect me to smile through my hardship! That's toxic... If I'm broke, then I'm gonna be frustrated and mad and unhappy... And it's perfectly ok!

Thirdly, I don't need a rich person or a 'rag to riches' motivational speaker giving me advice on how to be happy even when life conspires against me!!! You can either teach me to make my own money or you give me some of yours! That's actually helpful!

Keep your, 'Be happy, trying moments aren't permanent', to yourself... undecided

If you were once poor and now you're rich... You were definitely upset enough and UNGRATEFUL to want something more outta life... So don't expect me to be content... Or to be happy willy as I'm working on a site mixing cement for 5k...

And for those rich people people in their mansion... Don't even dare it! You're not in the position to tell me sh**... cry

I challenge you to give up everything you have and try living the life of an average Nigerian... undecided

Rich people should only open their mouths to give out useful information... Rather than preach that we should giggle like idiots while starving... Or after losing a relative/friend...etc

Rant ended!

Message: it's not normal to be happy or grateful while you're miserable...

Are you alright? I expected this sort of comment... You Nairaland men! Think too much with your pẹnises, your brains are now dusty and with cobwebs...

*Sighs.

My point is that rich people love to give out motivational messages to poor people... These messages are usually them tell the masses who are struggling to be happy despite their problems...

It's like living in a gated compound... And you tell a person whose home is less secured that he should be grateful for the little he has... Regardless of the fact that his safety isn't guaranteed...

And those 'rags to riches' people who love to tell us how content we should be because bad times don't last... It's stupid, because to me... They weren't content with their circumstances... That's why they struggled to get more out of life...

And the worse, rich or satisfied people telling to to smile even when everything goes wrong... As though being frustrated or upset when you're broke is a bad thing!!!

It's perfectly normal to be bitter when there's nothing in your life worth celebrating... But rich people tell you to laugh and see the bright side... Which is just annoying...

As for being entitled... You missed where I stated that rich people should tell us how to make money Instead of dishing out their unsolicited toxic-positive advice? And if they want to be helpful, they could even be philanthropists...giving to those in need instead of telling them bullsh**...

No poor, miserable person need a rich person to tell them that life is beautiful, that they should be happy, that they should be grateful for the 'nothing' they have!!!

Do you get it? undecided

You deserve to be spanked! What has this comment got to do with my post?

I hate motivational speakers who sit in the comfort of their mansions, drinking wine, after touring the globe... telling me that I should be happy even when I'm broke... undecided

It's toxic... They say, "Be content! Turn that smile upside down! Bad times don't last, be grateful!"...

Because starving or being jobless is something to be proud of?

And don't advertise your agriculture ish on my post! angry

I hate them too because I Know only like 1in a million will go from rags to riches. What about the rest.The thing you have to understand is that once you 'blow' or make it you will forget all your suffering and pain so that is why you can open your mouth and talk trash

And the rich people who give out dumb 'how to be successful' advice...

Rich people: The reason that you're poor is because you're too lazy!

Average person: Okay? So what should I do?

Rich people: Follow this routine...

1. Sleep for eight to ten hours...

2. Drink lots of water...

3. Hit the gym and practice yoga... to strengthen your body and mind...

4. Eat healthy, no junk food!

5. Save enough money every week and start a good business to become a millionaire like myself!

6. Above all, be positive!

Average person: So do you realise I have to work 24/7 in a construction site...to earn less than 10k a month...in a dead country where a poor meal cost more than 1k..? undecided

***

I hate these people too! Rich people are extremely annoying... No lie...

You missed the point!

There's no motivation from a message such as this, 'Even when you're poor, still be happy'...

It's idiotic... They tell struggling people to be grateful for having nothing... It's TOXIC POSITIVITY.

If you're rich, don't expect someone who's wallowing in poverty to gleeful... Or content...

Assume your child is starving, wouldn't you be irritated if Dangote opens his mouth to give you an advice that 'you should be grateful...you should cheer up!...it's only in your head and if you smile often, everything would be perfect!!'

The only useful thing he could do is teach you to survive... That's more important... Or all the very most, he could be generous...

But for a wealthy man living his best life...to tell the miserable masses that they should all be happy and grateful...it's just shallow and a bit wicked...

And those who were poor, they can be compassionate enough to understand your situation... enough that they do not judge you for being frustrated... enough that they don't give you sh**y messages that they could not live by...

PS...: Life isn't an exam..this is the sort of mentality black people have...that's why our communities are so messed up... undecided

We're here together, not competing... Giving others tips on how to fend for themselves isn't expo...it's 'humanity'... Something Africans can't seem to comprehend!!!

No rich person made it without the support of another... It's nice how they forget this to become egoistic assholes when they've made their millions...

I agree with you.

There's is one idiot that usually tell me rich people don't sleep at night,

That if I want to be rich I should make use of my night.

Stupid motivation.

Na person wey get something to do for night nai no go sleep.

All and all I still need that motivation everyday.

The thing is any area u are working on, look for motivational speaker in that area, is very helpful.

One said the other day, 5 step to being successful, after all the nonsense, the 5th step was, buy my book cool

I was like shey this well?

You don't like their motivational quotes... Did they force you to listen to them??

These rich people have never met you, they probably don't even know you exist and you're here hating them for very childish reasons...

Growup abeg undecided

If you don't like what they say, then don't listen!!!! Them no force you...

And the amusing thing is despite all your hateful rant, they're still somewhere sipping wine and going on tours while you "work all day in a site" cheesy
