being poor is all in the mind.

people often complain about what they don't have and they yet fail to recognize and appreciate what they currently have.

for example... a worker complaining that he doesn't have enough money to buy his own car and that he has to commute everyday... but he is more blessed as compared to a barrio schoolkid who has to talk 5km a day to go to school... but this barrior schoolkid is more blessed than an orphan from the recent floodings...

they only ones less fortunate than us are those who are lying 6 feet below the ground.
