In my opinion, rich and poor and a large distance. Many poor people are very smart, but they cannot earn enough money for their life. In the otehr site, so much rich people just receive the fortune from their parents or relationship. Poor people don't have so much chance for work, for study, for invest. Rich people have many many chance to invest, and if they are lost, they still have another chance to earn money again. What do you think about what I say? Share you ideas.

You right my friend. Rich people being rich because they have money to invest in a business and have the ability to do business that generates money and make them richer. But poor not always a poor as you said that poor is turn into more poverty. It is depend on the situation of every individuals my friend. If you have education and have good health. You have the possibility to be rich someday. There are people down to poorness because they always complaining to the government and saying "why does the government allow them to be poor"? It's true that the government have the responsibility to provide jobs and do something to uplift the lives of every individual but there are many corrupt officials that makes the countries worse and make more poor people around the corner of the country... Blame those corrupt officials not the system of the government...

You right, my friend. We need to be hardworking and patient to be rich someday. Or even if can't be rich someday. The important thing is we are contented in what we have in life. Contentment and healthy lifestyle is the real wealth.. Have a great day!

Yeah, I know that, so I hope everyone will have chance to be rich one day. But before you have a chance, the hard working also is the most imporatant one. If you hard working, you may have more chance than you do nothing. It's my opinion, so I always be an active perosn.

I think that meaning WAR, WAR and WAR. The world at the moment we live is not good enough but it will be surely better in the future. Now is the dark but the future is the light. Believe that wherever there are still suppressions, exploitations and injustice, there will be WAR also. That also get me think about a legendary hero in the past called RobinHood. He fought for the good of the common people and the lower class. He was remembered as a hero and victor for those who were ruled by the upper class. He fought as a lord of the common people and was a symbol for the end of the feudal system. Instead he became everyone's hero and took from the richest and gave to the poorest. Just as he took from the rich he exposed their corrupt leaders. By fighting with the lower class he brought together the two worlds and joined them as one. Robin Hood fought to end the constant struggle of the poor and their suppression by the upper class. Along with the lower class he fought to bring down the bridges that separated the two classes and bring them together by creating the middle... The legend of Robin Hood persists still today because it symbolizes the end of the feudal system and the world today still need many heroes like him.

Haha, I like your story, it makes me thinking something new. I think in the future, the distance between the rich and the poor will smaller than now. I hope it come soon because there are many many poor people in the world. They don't have enough money to even eat, drink. If there are no distance between them, I think the world will more beautiful.

You have a point there actually even though that is not applicable to all. Though the poor people that are smart can still earn money in terms of business as long as that person is not doing anything wrong that can harm the business as well as other people or his/her colleagues. The rich can be turn into rags as well if not doing anything to invest.

I agree with you about your points, everything can change. The rich also can become the poor, and the poor become the rich. Life is changing everyday.

As much as I want to disagree with that, what you have said is the reality of life. When one is poor, even if he is very smart and on top of the class, it will be hard for him to stand against the rich people who graduated from an expensive well known school. Poor people who make it big, do not just have the determination and the ability, luck just come with it. But when one is rich, he has the right connections and money to start business with. And of course by having many connections, rich people find it easier to have chance with any field they want. As sad as it may seem, that is what happening at the society.that is why it is hard for the poor to climb the ladder of success. But of course, determination and persistence can be poor man's capital to a brighter future

Of course you are right. Not thing is impossible so the poor also have a chance to agains the rich, the also can richer than the rish they met in the past. I think the necessity thing is that the poor need to do as hard as his or her can, then with a little lucky and smart, they can change from the negative posittion to the positive position.

You are absolutely right my dear friend.Poor people cannot think of investing in education and become rich because they cannot afford basic necessities of food and shelter what they will afford in education?Rich people are born with silver spoon in their hand.They get the ladders for success and they always get an opportunity to be rich and successful.Its all God's disparity.We human beings cannot do anything.We are mere puppets in his hands.We can thank God for making us fortunate.

I don't believe so. If poor people are so smart, they would be able to find a way to earn money even with small resources since that is the only thing they have. well, rich people are rich. Poor are poor. If they want to change the way they are, it's either by improving themselves or by doing something bad to lessen whatever they are already :-)

I would say the gap between the poor and the richh is increasing.. and as this happens the rich becomes more powerful, more able and will have more money and of course the poor people will in no way be able to get out of the quicksand they are in.

Well, I guess I will be classified on the side of the poor. My handbag is worth PhP70 and it is even a hand-me-down from my daughter. Is it true that a Louis Vuitton bag costs Php 1.4 M? I do comfort myself with the thought that at least I have a bag! And one day, the first shall be the last and the last shall be the first!

I agree with what you are saying.The rich due to their immense resources can afford to take chances.But the poor or mediocre have to think twice before investing.I think this is the greatest fallacy of most countries economic policy.The rich are getting richer and the gulf between them and the poor is widening.

That's right. It's quite unfair. i was born from poor family background and there is no any financial support for me to have a better life even for education purpose. However, my parents always be my role model and they give me strong spirit when i had faced problem.I had started to have part time job since i was 12 years old. That income i had earned is use for bear my study fee. Nevertheless, Im personally think that "there can be a miracle when you believe"? Poor people can turns to be rich and rich people can turns be poor, this is about our personality matter. If you have wonder to be rich, its can be possible if you have throw your effort for that.

Yes, you're right. We need more many systems which can help the person who is no money can implement their ideas. And There are much more helps from government such as bank system, risk investment ...If we can do that, the poor people who is smart can improve their living.

I think you are absolutely correct. The rich do get richer and the poor get poorer. That is how it is and its not going to change. A similar saying I was taught by my parents is, "It takes money to make money" There are many opportunites for people with money to either save more when they are buying things or to use their money to make more. Guess I better get a bunch of money!
• Vietnam

I agree with you. The rich also have more change than the poor, if they invest more, it means they may become more rich. It hardly to make the rich become poor if they know what to do for their business. Have a nice day!

Yep, I think so too.. the gap is getting wider by the day. Some, not all.. of the rich are not helping the poor and the poor is not getting rich any day.. so the rich becomes richer.. just my theory. I think in future years to come, the gap is going to be wider than ever.

It seems like the distance between the rich and the poor will still exist. Sound poor to me. I think if governements create more chance for the poor and avg people to do their own business. It may help to solve the problems. Cheer, Have a nice day!

True indeed. Life is unfair. There are people who are born rich and eventually will become richer. There are those that are born poor and continues to be poor, living life with sufferings. But the important thing is that we live life, work and find ways to improve. The only thing is that richer people have greater chances of getting more money than poor people. There are those lucky ones and there are those that work hard to become rich. What can we do.. life is like that.. We will just have to accept it.

Accept something doesn't mean you lose all the things, it just like you stop 1 step for waiting a chacen, when the chance coming just jump 2-3 or even 10 steps. I think the chance will come with the paitent person. The important thing is that when the chance coming, don't miss it. You will success if you think you will success. It always appera in my mine.

I think it is a shame that so much in the world depends on how much money a person has. Of course more opportunities are open if you have money. I have the dream of starting a business but I don’t have the finances to do so. Rich people have access to better health care as well. It is unjust but it is a way of the world. Having said that it is not to say that determination and hard work won’t pay off, it is just a lot more work to get to your destination that's all...
• Vietnam

Yeah, I know. What will happen to you if you don't have money to see the doctor or go to the hospital to check your health. I still have really large distance between the rich and the poor. If you have money, everything will ok. Everyone will like you. Everything you say or do will be the best.

If you are poor, there are many limitation that you cannot do like the rich do. You will not have the money to invest in the business like the rich do. The poor have to use the money for their daily living and they can't afford to take the risk that exist in the investment games. Where the rich are different, they can use their EXTRA money to invest in anything that they think can bring them more money. They can buy whole lot of shop lot and rent it to other. But the poor don't even able to buy a house for his own stay. That is why the poor is getting poorer and the rich is getting richer. Because for the poor, they have to work for the money but the rich, the money will work for them. That makes the different.

Yeah, its true.. The rich people have many chances while the poor are looking for that chances.. There are hardworking people but still remains in poverty because of the chances that hard to be in hand of the poor people.
• Vietnam

Yeah, I agree with you about this point. It's hard for the poor to have a chance, so almost all the poor will try their best to find this chance to change everything from negative position to positive position. I think so many poor are smart enough, and when they have this chance they will very success with their business. Have a nice day!
