a guy not that old started sitting at the front of my local woollies cap on the ground and a cardboard note asking for change I left my $2...then two weeks later there he was again...exact same note..and hat...I usually leave my donation on the way out...this time with 11 yr old grandson in tow.. I noticed a couple of things...so I just kept walking.. no donation this time.. when driving away grandson said did you notice he had a mobile phone... .. yes I did plus the bottle of gatorade...for all I know he had a nice car in the car park....its like the guy at the traffic lights wanting to wash my windscreen... usually with a fag in his face.... if those are your priorities then you can count me out...


I think we have just as many bad managers/poor decision makers.......... as we do poor people to be honest.....

No one in australia is poor by historical standards.
They would be in the top .0001 % of people to have ever been born on planet earth.

But everybodies life is either going up a little or down a little every day.

people think success is due to some talent, or being born into good circumstances or due to luck.

But success is just a decision and a habit.

Most people dont make these decisions to be successful because the ego likes to stay where it is...there is fear of the unknown.
this is called a limiting belief or a success barrier and humans are riddled with them.
In fact, if you are in a family of people with poor diets and poor motivation and you start to eat kale and chicken salads and go to the gym and do night school, your family and friends will probably try to get you to stop....whats up with you?, think youre better then us?
you vegetarian poof!!.

This is the collective ego of success barriers and inertia.

But anyone who wants to can become successful in australia.

eat well
go to the gym
read extensively
develop a positive mindset
only allow positive people into your life
cut contact with negative neurotics
be persistent
embrace problems
approach everyone with a spirit of contribution
in every interaction, add value,
never leech off people
no complaining
no victim mentality
no using others as your emotional tampon.


every one of these actions requires effort and commitment.

if you dont want to do it, this is your call, you will have

Messed Up.

but you dont need to change countries.
Just change your own personal philosophy and it will all change for you.

Or, cower in the corner and cover yourself with a sheet and the government will bring you 3 meals a day and you can live a long and boring and pitiful life.

Your call

But doesn't being poor also mean that you can't afford to drink or smoke?

not necessarily about being poor

just look at these examples of poor health

being rich does not gaurantee success.
once people become rich, they will soon discover this will not maintain them in "state"
they then need to search for an area of contribution.

Miss rinehart is an example of attachment to money as a means of "keeping score"
this is low consciousness.
she has destroyed her relationship with her children over this low conscious behaviour
she has destroyed her health

addiction and attachment to anything...drugs, sugar, money, cars , boats and big houses is still attachment .

attachment to the idea that you are superior because you are spiritual is still ego driven and attachment.

she needs to meditate for 20 minutes a day and do yoga and find a cause outside of herself to become passionate about.
this is the way of the superior mining magnate

None of them show up on my screen ... I don't know why. Anyway, the photos were off Clive and Gina

Yes john, there are unhealthy rich people, and healthy poor people.  However, these are not distributed in equal measure. 

You don't need to get up in arms about generalised observations - they don't apply to 100% of cases, and nobody said they did, but if say, 2/3 of poor people are fat and 1/3 of rich people are, it's a pretty significant trend that porobably should be addressed, rather than swept under the carpet.

Its amazing that poor women , in particular, havent cottoned onto the idea of eating better and exercising.

This is not meant to be a misogynistic statement, merely a realistic statement.....

a woman who is poor but who

handles her nutrition
handles her weight
handles her emotions
learns to be good in bed
learns to be quiet at the right times and not be clingy

can EASILY snag a high quality guy and improve her social  circumstance by 1000%.

in fact, she deserves a high quality guy because she has become a high quality woman.

None of the above activities cost a cent and they are just  common sense.

i would go so far as to say, because of the evolutionary pressure of coming up from poverty, such a woman is even more valuable then a bratty rich party girl who likes to do coke and buy expensive handbags.

if i could give one bit of advice to young girls in poor families it would be to follow aquascoots simple recipe.

BUT they wont and this is entirley due to the limiting beliefs and success barriers of the poor.
How pitiful
