How the rich would have you think...


One of the things we can all do to be like the rich is to think positive.
Don't let people tell you the truth and don't dare to believe in the truth.
You need to minimize your exposure to the fear based- thinkers who
may come in all shapes and forms- teachers, preachers and parents.
It is always best to believe in fairy tales about wealth and wealth creation.
That way it is easier for the super- rich to screw you. If people were to
actually use their reasoning and examine the system, the rich could
no longer screw you with the help of their government.

The rich are different than us these days. They are, in fact, more special.
That is why they deserve to be bailed out by crores from the public funds.
That is why we happily allow them government welfare like tax cuts while
the poor have to face poverty and homelessness.

This trash is what most people subconsciously believe. After all, we have
been programmed from infancy to see the rich as deserving and the rest
of the struggling humanity suffering because they are not deserving.
Remember how GB Shaw differentiated between the deserving poor and
the undeserving poor? Strictly in harder lines than that.

The "Rich are a Special Lie" is sold to the Indian psyche in a variety of ways.
Recently someone decided to put it all down in a book. So you can read it
to reinforce your already conditioned psyche about the rich being better.

His name is Steve Siebold who authored "How the Rich People Think."
In his book he contrasts the rich and their special abilities with the rest
of the common losers.

Middle class focuses on saving;
World class focuses on earning.
Middle class believes hard work creates wealth;
World class believes leverage creates wealth.
Middle class believes money is earned through labor;
World class believes money is earned through thought.
Middle class worries about running out of money;
World class thinks about how to make more money.
Middle class operates from a fear based consciousness;
World class operates in a consciousness of abundance.
Middle class sees money through the eyes of emotion;
World class sees money through the eyes of logic.
Middle class believes getting rich is outside their control;
World class knows getting rich is an inside job..

Siebold is right about getting rich as an inside job. It helps if you can have
the government give you tax credits, bail out your investments, control the
market for you, and allows you to operate in a near global monopoly.
If its so in America, why can't it be in India too?
Does it sound absurd? But so are most people.
They like to believe in nonsense.
It is far easier than thinking...

Thank you,
Love,
Prof. Dr. Alex Abraham Odikandathil
