Rat-racing the Vicious Cycle of Poverty

There is only ONE difference btw a failure & a success- it is called the extra mile.

Spectators celebrate the success of others, shouting while burning their energy.

In the end, the successful ones smile to the bank, while the spectators spend time counting their expenses on a non-yielding venture.

By the break of dawn the names of the successful ones make headlines, while the spectators spend more money buying tabloids to complete the Vicious Cycle.

God said, 'My people perish because they lack knowledge.'

Most of us lack knowledge- a good example is a jobless fool who flashes an expensive gadget, maintained by begging for alms.

We mostly believe in impressing the people around us at the expense of our future.

Expensive shoes;
Expensive shirts;
Expensive suits;
Expensive watches;
Expensive phones;
Expensive perfumes;
Expensive belts; etc.

But your income is less than $2/day. Can you escape the Rat-racing in the Vicious Cycle of Poverty? Think again my friend!

A mentor said;

'Look them straight in the eyes and say the truth. The worst that will happen is stepping on their toes- be ready to apologise if they confront you, but those who will confront you, are the foolish ones in the audience.'
