if we wanted to define "better' we would say

unselfish
put others first
always smiling
always positive
want to share their gifts
want to contribute
understand you have to give before you recieve
rarely complain
dont gossip
always aiming to give more
passionate
focused

now, if you have the above attributes and you go into business, be it as a tradie or some other small business, what happens?

you absolutely thrive in the market
people flock to you
return customers are virtually gauranteed.
you get so many customers , you have to raise your prices to keep the workload manageable

and you get rich


thereby proving the hypothesis that rich people get rich because they have all the admirable personailty and behavioural characteristics

Obviously, Aquascoot does not have these attributes.

Never complain? Aquascoot always finds something to complain about. He would find a cause if there was actually nothing for Aquascoot to complain about.

If people were flocking to Aquascoot he would be so busy he couldn't scratch himself. No evidence that this si so.

horseboy read that in a book did he?

If I put aquascoot's latest word salad into here:

Kinda reminds me of Vogon Poetry.

thats the narrative that losers tell themselves, so they have the excuse of not trying

I swear you get dumber with every post. It's as if each day you bounce out of bed and ask yourself, 'how can I outstupid yesterdays comments?' And then you set about doing it.

john,

youre trying to feel better about your self and boost your self esteem by hating on a stranger on the internet

this will not help you

could i suggest you spend that time reading a business book by seth godin or gary v

your mistake falls under the heading of "opportunity cost"

trump loves attention more then money

attention is a leading indicator that you know how to mess with peoples minds

money is a leading indicator that other citizens value you

do people value what they attend to?

in some instances, yes they do

from a monetary point of view , we even say you have to PAY attention.

but you can certainly offer value without wanting the limelight

in fact the limelight is probably a burden

as i pointed out to you, the parents of CNN presenter Amderson Cooper are the Van der built family.
one of americas richest.
they hate the limelight

anderson was made to change his name when he went into the media to keep the spotlight off them

john

you silly billy.

i dont want your approval.

have you heard of pro bono work, done by successful lawyers?

they do it to  try to help losers get back on track

thats how you come accross to me

as a loser who needs a hand up.

by offering you wisdom, i'm all good with the interaction

if you refuse to accept the wisdom, thats on you

now have you read dan kennedys excellent book yet 

Better at what?  Grifting?

I'll start with the headline on the forum page... and use it a bit:-

Why the rich are genetically inferior.

Well - because they are not complete human beings, are generally restricted in their worldview and contacts with the real world, and thus are incapable of making valid decisions, a problem they pass on to their dorks offspring.

That's why things keep getting worse.

pro bono work john

i do it for my benefit

now have you read the excellent work byjoseph grenney  "crucial conversations "

US GDP is at a current level of 28.65T and 1/2 of yanks believe Trump. Aquascoot says they now jump out of bed with a plan and are positive, performing and productive. The Trump-aquascoot partnership for richness is worth ~ 14T.

The rich are more charitable (particularly to their relatives) but it's a dollar measurement. As percentage of their wealth, they're ordinary.

And "have to give before you can receive" may apply to Bill Gates (though even he was a privileged child) but it definitely does not apply to Elon Musk or Donald Trump.
