Everyone has the right to be rich

Mazen Balilah Everyone has the right to be rich. Bill Gates once said: “If you are born poor, it is not your mistake. But if you die poor, it is your mistake.” Most financial magazines agree on five steps that one should take to become rich. The first step is to change your way of thinking. Instead of being a consumer, you should be a producer. Consumers eat pizza but producers make it. Consumers watch movies, but producers make them. Consumers look for jobs, but producers create job opportunities for all. Take a look at all the rich people who play an influential role in the economy of their country today, they are all producers and have done something good for their community. The second step is to develop and hone your skills constantly so that you can serve people better and get paid well for your work. Work hard to achieve this goal. The third step is to make sacrifices and take risks. Most people fail to be rich because they do not take risks and do not take advantage of their opportunities. Make the decision now and bear the consequences. Always remember that rich people were once poor. The fourth step is to hang out with successful people and learn from them. Do not waste your time on trivial things and always treat time as something very important. The fifth step is to discover your inner skills and talents. Everyone has certain talents that others do not have. Try to unleash your inner self and talents and identify the activities you like most and practice them until you perfect them. Jerry Rice, a great former American footballer, said, “Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.”
