Nuts
"Is it always"
By: William Penrose
Is it always the rich who prosper? No. Of course not. As a matter of fact there are so many reasons I can debate against that question.
The rich are not the only ones who prosper in this world. Surely the middle class and especially the poor do too. You may question "how does the poor prosper." It is obvious that they don't prosper financially but there is something different that they prosper for. A something that makes value to their lives much more powerful than others.
One word and one word only is that something. Ambition. Yes ambition. We all have it, yes. But the poor have a whole new type of ambition. It's so powerful and heart warming. It's the kind of ambition that would make it in the history books but it doesn't because they are poor. This ambition is what carries them. It's supports their lives and keeps them fighting to survive in this cruel world.
No warm bed. Shortage on food. Sorrow. Yet ambition is seen in their eyes. They want a better future. If you ask a person who was raised poor and turned out wealthy; they will tell you how proud they are of the person they were then and now. That person understands because they lived through it. And they survived through it.
Understand that the poor prosper through ambition. Ambition for their families. Ambition for their lives. Ambition for a better future. So no; the rich are not the only ones who prosper in life. The poor prosper as well. They prosper in much more meaningful ways.
