Get Rich Or Try Something Else

Most people want to be rich, successful and 'big' so they can be comfortable; that is a Nigerian way of saying so they can own luxurious cars and drive them around in a convoy and if possible hire a police escort along for prestige or so they can live in mansions and have their children sent abroad for schooling while they themselves travel all over the world and eat everything in astonishingly large quantities for the pot belly development or so they can "do whatever they like" (what a tall dream!) and get to boink around the world.
What they don't realise is that rich people dont have time for vacations and if they can squeeze in any, they eventully turn it into a business trip because they will find a new investment there. Rich people own real estates which they evluate as assets and all the cars have insurance on them. They don't realise that when people get rich, gifts just get handed to them (by employees, friends, and even the poor). He doesn't buy cars because the latest model of that year will be handed to him on his birthday more than once. He doesnt buy clothes because people constantly give him suits and shoes as complements and when they are looking for favours. Time and time again, he will receive expensive phones but will hand them over to his children because he already has all his SIM cards duely represented.
In essence, the rich don't even have time for luxuries, that just comes as part of the package. They see every challenge an opportunity, so while other people are scraping their bank accounts to buy plated rings for a proposal, a rich guy invests in a jeweler, gets the diamond (courtesy of the deal), and now has a new source of income. So next time you go out of your means to buy something because you think that is 'how a rich man lives', remember that he got rich first before stuff fell on his laps, not the other way.
