Robert T Kiyosaki taught us "How To Be Rich," and so did other major economic practitioners; economic consultants, hedge-fund managers, marketing gurus, some of Madoff's victims, you name it.
They speak of one word: financial profit. Ok, that's two. Whatever. In order to be rich, financial profits are the target as well as the basis upon which we could make even bigger one.
"Would you buy that crap?"
I would. Who doesn't want to be rich anyway?
But there's a problem. Not all of us endowed with the basic necessities one should have in order to make the FIRST profit: list of skills, a certain amount of capital, facilities etc. Having born in such third-world-country where either wars or, as in my case, corruptions, happen everyday is another shit to blame out there.
Sound familiar, anyone?
If I were to ask "How many of you live under 10$ a day," to the whole population of the world today (20:50 GMT (EST+5) Jul 12, 2009), the staggering 5,416,536,644 (80% of the total 6,770,670,806 population according to this source) will raise their hand!
The saddest thing yet is that the the rest 20% are those who consume almost 80% of world's total domestic products. Shit! This ain't real is it?
Yep. That's pretty real. It's so real your eyes won't believe you.
I have with me many other INTERESTING facts about the statistics of wealth and poverty, and everything in between, such as this: The world's billionaires--the lucky 497 of 6.5 billion people (0.000008%) --shared the total wealth of 3.5 Trillion USD among themselves. Surprising? You bet.
But we'll come to that in another occasions.
Back to the point then.
Ok. So, despite all the "How To Be Rich" teaching out there, we still have 5.4 billions "poor" people here on our Earth.
Clearly, to give each of them one of the "How to be rich" manual won't help them out of poverty. The ideas of selling-big-invest-big-gain-big just not click with that of what-do-I-feed-my-child-with-today those people are having.
Those how-to-be-rich gurus missed one important point, which is to teach people how to be rich, you MUST teach them how not to be poor, first. And that is what I (despite all my limit) would try here.
