Why do poor people become poor?
They do not believe that they can escape from poverty. The majority of the poor people problems lies in the fact that they are timid in thinking and lack self-confidence. Being poor is not terrible, rather the most fearful and destructive part is staying in a poor state of mind.
When it comes to battling out of poverty, most people stay poor mainly due to laziness, extravagance, poor time management, unwillingness to work hard and lack of desire to succeed. In the state of mind of a poor person, time does not equate to money. This is the formula for the misery of the poor.
Poor people want money, but not time! They are easily contented, shortsighted and being controlled by someone else. To make a living, the poor often compromise and live day by day. This compromised mentality leads to the lack of ambition, burying of their talent, missing out on opportunities of a lifetime, and eventually their mindset becomes the prisoner of the poor and they stay poor forever.
The rich people look for business, the poor look for work. Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought. Anything is possible even in the face of adversity if you want to do it and have the power of vision. No action equals no result. Mao ZeDong once said, "Want to know the taste of the pear, you have to taste it yourself."
Many people want to be an entrepreneur, yet they are afraid of failure, waiting for the " right timing". The truth is, there is no perfect timing, neither the right time nor the right moment. The time is "NOW", when you decide to take the first step, "every thousand steps start with the first step", and as you walk along, you will become more competent every single day.
There you go my friends, do not look for excuses any longer, start today and make your life better than anyone else. Expect the Best for your life. =)

Life's made up of pretences
-you think he's not lying to you just because he's your friend?he might jolly well bite you back in the arse for something trivial
Life just consists of excellently put up shows
-whether or not you can tell or expose a lie, don't believe everything people say
Often you find yourself put on a mask in front of others do you not?
-regardless of trying to protect yourself or others, don't deny it
-even if it's a white lie or a half lie you are still lying to yourself if you say you're right
Aren't you tired?
-isn't the burden of sins of all these lies you've told over the years getting to your conscience?

Why is it whenever I don’t see you I see the best of you; but whenever I am with you it only disappoints me to find so many flaws and letdowns from you.
Is it because I expect too much? Is it all just my illusion of a perfect world? Or are things just not going the way it should be?
Maybe there are really many things that you and I can improve on. Maybe you are still not sensitive enough to my feelings; maybe I too, am not treating you to the best of my abilities.
So many issues bugging me, though it merely a few months since we started. Is it all necessary; is it all just the start to a looming end ahead?
I fear what I said I fear not.
I realized I hate this stage of life. Hate the transition between school days and working life.
I don’t want to grow up; I don’t want to carry such a heavy burden.
I’m still a kid or at least, I still want to be a kid.
I know this is childish but as adulthood approaches, I find that it is too stressful and I am lost inside in transition.
Lost without knowing which path to take; lost without any clue what is going to happen to me.
I look around, spotting many friends who has already chosen a course they want to study in university or has blended in to the workplace so easily like a leopard in the desert.
And me? I wonder day and night where would I go, what would I be in 2 years time when others are already setting long term goals in 5 to 10 years.
I always think I am a failure, that life wouldn’t have been this bad if certain choices weren’t made like they were.
For one, I shouldn’t have chosen a sub science class in sec 2 when I was easily qualified for pure science classes. (I blame it on my ignorance then regarding the pre-requisites)
Another crucial turning point was choosing to stay in pioneer jc after my 1st 3 months when I could have moved to Anderson jc with my aggregate of 11 points.
The major difference in attitude of the two schools played a major factor affecting the outcome of my A levels.
Now, I have to suffer the consequences of my mistakes, I have to live with the drastic changes in my life, and I have to face the results of my poor will to stand against the temptations of the man's laziness.
However, recently, many a times have I realized I am quite blessed actually. Good things happen to me out of the blue just because I was thinking about it, asking for it, or even praying about it.
I think I get the sense that God is looking out for me.
Twice, I have gotten a response from an university because I was worrying over not being able to get admitted. Although it’s just an interview to get into the course, it is definitely better than not getting any news at all.
Once, it had been a pretty bad day for me and on my way home, I asked for rain that night or the next day. And I got it.
These are just some of the examples of strange incidences that happened to me which made me feel that I’m being blessed. I hope things will improve from here and I won’t need to ask for anything anymore. That I won't feel dispair and be overwhelmed with sadness so many a times in a month. I wish...I wish that I can change to be more accepting and be accepted by others as well. That's it I guess, just a simple hope that will make my life bliss.

Y do I always say things that I don’t mean. Y do I always hurt the one most dear unintentionally.
Y must I always act so rash and impulsive. I don’t mean I deserve to be forgiven but I hope certain things can be overlooked.
I try to accept your flaws, I try to make myself better, but I don’t seem to see much will on your part to improve the current situation.
Of course there are positive values in you too, like being tolerant enough to bear with me and keep up with my childishness.
But sometimes your stubbornness and ego refuses to budge too and that’s what normally pushes me over the edge, to push you away or to say hurtful words.
It always seems that parting with you makes me realize my mistakes. It’s always the distance apart from you that wakes me up and makes me feel sad and remorseful.
No doubt we share certain happy moments together but suddenly the similarity between us seems to be the factor that’s driving us apart.
We don’t sing the same tune all the time, but we do share very similar traits and personalities.
I think we both expect a lot from each other though we always say we don’t. We tend to hurt each other unintentionally because we don’t phrase our words carefully enough.
We accept the fact that things are going fairly well between us but we hope that it could be better. We are affected immensely by simple acts or words made by the other.
What more can be done I do not know, but I wish that things will just stop being complicated all the time. I guess I miss you more than you know it, and I long to spend every moment with you.
"Never forget. Each of your words is like a feather in the wind. Once spoken, no amount of effort, regardless how heartfelt or sincere, can ever return them to your mouth. Choose your words well, and guard them most of all in the presence of those you love."
"There is death and life in the power of the tongue."Your encouraging words can lift someone up and help them make it through the day. Your destructive words can cause deep wounds; they may be the weapons that destroy someone's desire to continue trying -- or even their life.Your destructive, careless word can diminish someone in the eyes of others, destroy their influence and have a lasting impact on the way others respond to them. Be careful what you say. Speak life to (and about) those who cross your path. There is enormous power in words. If you have words of kindness, praise or encouragement -- speak them now to, and about, others. Listen to your heart and respond.
Your Tongue
It is a helpful toolThat is used as a dangerous weaponIt is so lightYet we fail to hold itInstead of using it as a magic wandTo tap a bit of encouragement upon ones heartOr a smile upon ones faceWe use it as a sword to cut people downLeaving their hearts brokenAnd their self-esteem low
Unlike the marks of physical abuse which will heal, the damage from verbal abuse can compound to cause serious emotional damage to its victim. Anger, depression, and low self-esteem can be products of verbal abuse. And they can last a lifetime. But not every hurtful word will cause the same type of pain. Something said by a stranger won't have nearly the effect as the same thing said by someone you trust, someone you love, someone you want to please, someone you want to like you—a parent, your spouse, a best friend, an employer. Because the words come from someone you respect you take them to heart and begin to believe they're true.
