There’s nothing wrong with being Poor Person, but it’ll be fatal mistake if you have Poor Mentality.

So, What’s the difference ?

Poor, is just a condition where someone can’t afford money for their living. S/he can’t buy something that they need most, can be foods, clothes, or education, because they less of money. That’s it !

Poor Mentality, in the other hand, is a condition where people think like ‘Poor Person’.

Bein poor, doesn’t mean have poor mentality. and bein rich, doesn’t mean they have ‘Rich Mentality’ either. In fact, many riches have Poor Mentality, and the reverse does the same.

Now, what’s Poor Mentality exactly ?, what is “people who think like ‘Poor Person’” ?, what does it mean ?

Now, imaging a Poor Person, give them 1 Billion Rupiahs. What will they do ?, in most cases, what they will do is : SPEND IT UNTIL THEY DRAIN IT OUT !, and for the worst case, they even caught in debt. There’s a story where a man win $100,000 Lotto Prize, 5 times !!, and now he live in a van, homeless, and must use coupons just for getting some foods.

What happens with the money ??, 5 x $100,000 is such a big bucks man !, what in the world he can be so poor if he already won that much ?!

You know what he said ?, he said

“have lots of money just make me suffering more, I don’t know what should I do, and when I blink, the money just gone like the wind ! “

Poor Mentality, is ‘consume mentality’. You buy something, you spend your money, and at the end, you ask yourself “where’s the hell my money goes to ?”, “who took my money ?”. Yeah, money gone faster than you think. faster then the wind.

Bill Gates starting his company from his small room, Amazon.com start the business from a small garage. Yes, they’re not that poor in that time. But we can’t say they are rich either when they start the business.

And guess what ?, I’m starting my online company with my old Pentium III computer that was bought when I was in Third Grade of Senior High School. And am I rich back at that time ?, no way !

Bein Poor is no big deal. But having Poor Mentality is such a big probs.

When you have your brain and your rich mentality, you can even squeeze out money from the trash. and when your poor mentality work, you can turn out gold into coal.

You can blame God that send you to poor family, but you just can BLAME YOURSELF for having poor mentality. God never send you to poor family, and make you bein poor forever. You’re the one who choose your own path, is it to be Rich or Poor.

No, It’s not about money dude,

it’s about YOU !

As Rich Dad says :
“There’s only 2 problems about money in the world, first is NO MONEY problem, and second is TOO MUCH MONEY problem. So, which one do you want ?”

What’ll you choose ?, pick yourself ..

Artikel ini dibuat bukan untuk memojokkan atau mendiskriminasikan golongan orang-orang Miskin, tetapi hanya untuk membuka wawasan anda tentang dunia yang lebih luas daripada yang anda lihat sekarang.

Bokap gw sendiri dulunya adalah seorang perantau yang miskin yang hijrah ke kota, dan kehidupan gw diwaktu kecil juga lumayan keras. Bokap gw cuma punya Rp.25,- buat jajan di sekolah, itupun kudu dibagi2 buat makan. Dan gw hanya punya Rp.300,- buat jajan semasa SD. Itu juga termasuk ongkos angkot (yang pada akhirnya gw lebih memilih jalan 3 Km, dan bawa makanan dari rumah. khehehe )

Being Rich in your mind now, and you’ll be Rich in your future.
