Once upon a time a very wealthy merchant was passing by a jungle on a business trip when he saw a large herd of elephants, he suddenly stopped confused, after noticing the fact that these huge creatures were being held only by very tiny ropes tied to their front legs. There were no chains, neither were there cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reasons, they weren't. He saw a trainer nearby and decided to asked why these animals just stood where they are never making any attempts to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they were very young and much smaller we used the same size rope to tie them and at that age, it's enough to hold them.

Bill Gates once said, "It's not your fault if you were born poor, but it's your fault if you die poor." There's no reason why you should live in poverty. Wealth is waiting for you, but you have to make up your mind if you want it in your life. For a long time, I struggled to believe that I could eventually become rich. It wasn't until I observed the differences in thoughts and actions between the "haves" and the "have-nots." Here Are 10 Major Differences Between Wealthy & Poor People: 1a.
