It's a matter of mindset
When a person opens himself to the possibility of something
he shifts his mind and body to a mode to attain success
But when a person decides its impossible,
he shifts his mind and body to a mode supporting failure.
Wealth is a decision one makes.
Everyone can acquire wealth.
Sadly majority of the poor have decided it is impossible for them,which is definitely not true.
Majority of the rich were poor.
Though everything changed when they decided to become wealthy.
All it took was a change in mindset

I don't think everyone can become wealthy, but they can make a little more if they stop thinking they are in a hole. I also think the poor do not know how to become rich because the minute they make more than for their family's or their need, they go spend it on something the rich have and forget that the more wealthier person is that way because he did not spend like there was no tomorrow.

I believe the frame of mind or your mindset influenses your life, but I do not believe it is as easy as you make it sound like. people are born with different chances. if you are poor in the US you may succed with hard work and determination - it is harder for you than for the rich americans but it is still possible. But does this go for the poorest of the poor in Africa, Asia or South America? If you live in the bush or at a garbage heap and there is no school, no proper clothes. Where you have to work hard every day just to eat? How do you educate yourself and get the same chances as rich people? Sure, it may still be possible, but the chances are very slim. Even if you strongly belive you may do it.

I agree its not easy, coz if being rich was easy then majority of the people would have done it. unfortunately its not, thats why they majority arent there. For those people in Asia or South America the possibility is still high for several rich people from there have done it, starting out poor. In the Philippines alone we got a lot already.

First people should learn how to spend money.In India a poor man is there he would marry and have more than five children where a rich will be having only two children.Suppose they divide their available resources the poor man's sons will get on 1/5 of the inheritance whereas rich mans sons will get 1/2 share, like that poor will become more poor rich more richer.

This is only a basic idea,when more people are discussing the issue, more tangible result will come up.

Partly true but it would be better for him to think of ways to acquire more wealth than limiting the number of his children.
