The rich and poor family successwise

[Ultegra134]

Success at times is the product of hardwork and time  which means before success comes, there must be an inputted force which is the propelling strength that drives all knowledge in other to archive success. Comparing the success level of both, that of the poor is different from the rich because capital which is the propelling factor is always available for the rich and reduces the rate of hard work that is to say, the rich never requires hard work to become successful instead they replace it with knowledge. While the poor never write-off  any among all because they give all to be successful, the desired factors are time, hard work and knowledge and can never come out successful if any is omitted

Yeah, I don't quite believe in the "hardwork" part, it can't be applied to every case at least. I find it a capitalistic lie to believe that every single human can simply work hard and succeed in life. Wealthy people get a huge head start; better education, money and most importanly, connections. That's how you're seeing people in positions they shouldn't be, because either their money or their connections got them there. The average joe doesn't have these benefits, and working twice as hard doesn't cut it.

Working hard is a very good thing but life is too beautiful to believe that hard work will ensure success.
The reality is life isn't that easy. Indeed hard work is essential to support at least our daily needs, but on the other hand if we always see ourselves as being successful solely through hard work and without any other factors it's clearly very difficult.

While this is certainly a possibility we certainly know that the encouragement of privilege such as family or substantial support will make our hard work seem more likely to succeed. Even when there are motivating factors like privilege even without hard work we can achieve the success many desire.

This left me thinking, successwise, among people from rich and poor families, who makes the greatest success?
What is your views of success tendency between people from rich and poor background?
What do you think is the percentage reality(or percentages in reality)?

It is hard to determine who makes success between the poor and the Rich, if I am to guess, I will say the number of people that become rich or successful are few or average compeard to the poor, because the poor always have one or two excuses that makes them remain poor that's why we keep having low numbers of rich and higher number of poor people because the rich take risk and it could be more calculated risk unlike poor with no or less calculated risk and poor planning and execution. Making success is not just by words but by action, and this action is backed up by patient, perseverance, dedication and focus etc. the Gap between the rich and the poor is very far.

Nowadays the rich has become more advantaged than the poor in everything before the rich and the poor will have an open chance to contest for what they want and any one with the luck will be given the offer if it is a job or a business opportunity but things have changed and the connection now makes it easier for the rich they now create more opportunities for their children to be more advantaged to get offers and chances every where they like it is not all about chance and luck again. If you go around the city most of the rich people you see today inherited wealth and opportunities they never started off from the scratch it is only a few that worked so hard to get to the level they are now.

First of all, the gap between rich and poor must be eliminated from this society. We should think that rich and poor are human beings. if a rich person helps a poor person a little, Which will not affect the wealth of rich, while help he gives will be used for poor. the era we live in, rich are given an advantage.  Rich can get any job done with the power of money. And the inherited power of  rich is also used by his children. While a poor person has to work hard for it. If we want this society to develop, We should give equal rights to the rich and the poor that is our success.

[Makus]

A lot of people say that it's easy for those that come from wealthy families to succeed but I think even though that might be true it's not totally accurate. The road to success doesn't really work for only a certain category of people, most of the top business tycoons and influential people we look up to didn't really come from rich families, it's all about having a plan, Being disciplined and also consistent to be successful. The rich might have an advantage but it isn't ultimately targeted for just them to be successful, anyone can achieve this.

[Shadiq]

A quote by G. Michael Hopf makes me say, he said “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” (Copy)

Based on his line of thought, I consider that the wealth of a rich person keeps decreasing generation after generation and the wealth of a poor person keeps increasing generation after generation. The main reason for this is that our needs, the needs of a poor person are completely on the top and he keeps struggling to reach that level, maybe it is not possible to reach that level in one lifetime, but we see that after a few generations they are the ones who are on the list of rich people. But in the case of a rich person! His children certainly have opportunities, but they do not have to struggle and do not have to work hard. That is why their money starts decreasing instead of increasing.

Even the life stories of the world's top richest people also say that they once struggled with poverty and he had to work very hard to reach that position. It's easy to be born into a rich family and become rich, but it rarely happens. It's hard to be born into a poor family and become rich, but that hard thing does happen.

The drive to earn more nowadays is like never before. There are leverages, networks and chances which without thinking twice the elites (the rich) in every society and their family has it.
All that being, it is not a news how someone with no social backgrounds has become of elite background.
Leverages and networks and chances are some times misused or also managed and at times multiplied.
Funny enough, let's just say some well to do family today started from poor background.

This left me thinking, successwise, among people from rich and poor families, who makes the greatest success?
What is your views of success tendency between people from rich and poor background?
What do you think is the percentage reality(or percentages in reality)?

Children of rich families are always ahead of the poor because they inherit wealth from the beginning. Their lives are smooth and they can do better if they try. But children of poor families are deprived of all opportunities to grow up without their own efforts, so their growth is very difficult. Children of rich families can easily take high risks, but children of poor families have to think a lot before and after taking risks. As a result, they cannot easily go into any investment.

[Coyster]

It is no news that our environment shapes our perspective, but i don't think it decides our reality. If you were raised in lack and poverty, it can surely rub off on you, change your perspective and make you believe that success isn't achievable. Same goes the other way round, rich people teach their wards about affluence, finance and industry. And if they learn and stay true to it, then they are very likely to be successful.

That said, none of this is set in stone. Every person still has to decide their own fate, irrespective of their environment or family background. In other words, anyone can achieve success, it depends on their will to do so.

This is not discussion of rich and poor success for me the one who do efforts, make plans, take risks and show consistency. This attitude automatically move towards success. On the other hand, poor planning, low courage less market knowledge and low consistency leads people to remain poor. Many people blamed that rich people have lot of opportunities but I think difference is not opportunities, success requires clear mind set about the goal should have the ability to learn from the failure, patients and focus and ready to take smart actionaction timely. For me its not background or luck that makes someone rich but mindset and attitude and continous effort make someone rich. A determined person have the ability to turn small business into big business.

In terms of percentage, people who have wealth are much superior and often have significant advantages and benefits at the start, such as capital and their extensive business networks Which makes it easier for them to achieve financial success. And vice versa, while those starting from the bottom often face significant obstacles. This shows that despite the significant obstacles they face, a combination of hard work, innovation, and seizing opportunities can turn a person's fortunes around. The point in this case is that to achieve success or any achievement we have to work hard in building all of this.

Children of rich families can easily take high risks, but children of poor families have to think a lot before and after taking risks. As a result, they cannot easily go into any investment.

However, there's one thing that children from wealthy families can't overcome, even if they're successful in all their activities. This is having a strong mentality when they fall into poverty due to significant losses in their work. Rich people can also fall into poverty if they don't learn how to struggle and manage their finances well in any job. And when rich children fall into poverty, they certainly don't know how to struggle from the start, and they're even more easily frustrated because their mentality isn't prepared, having never been tempered by hard work from an early age.

To be fair, having wealth allows you to be wrong for as long as you want. For example, me and my wife started a business, well I helped her create it, because we are in big debt and I wanted to have another income and she was happy to do it, she just needed my help for like a month or so, and few days in between to set it organized.

After six months, because it has not made any decent profit at all, not even breaking even, we couldn't afford to continue. Don't get me wrong, no business makes money after six months, tesla didn't, amazon didn't, evet Berkshire probably didn't profit within first six months, most companies fail and lose money in the first six months. How do they continue? Either the owner or some investors put in money to keep it going.

[letteredhub]

Both those from rich and poor family backgrounds have just about the same opportunities to succeeding in life, the only bi.t of difference is that those from rich families already have a leverage to ride on, they have an edge which those from poor families do not have, but this is often not an excuse for any one who is really determined to succeed in building that idea or establishing that big business empire and so on..

The opportunities can't be the same for two people from two different backgrounds where one is rich and the another is poor. For the one who's from a rich background, his family name is capable of opening doors for him where he doesn't even merit it, he can afford finding himself in places where he would be with the opportunity of meeting and connecting with dignitaries who by the reputation of the status his family they would be willing without reluctance go into business contracts with him. A young man from a poor background is bereaved of this opportunities to connect to the top. He could even die while trying due to the complexity and hinderance he would have conquer.

I have personally seen guys from really poor background struggle their way to the top even while some persons from rich families are still struggling to cope..

I agree there are people who had to work in the unimaginable ways to break the poverty circle in their background but the process and conditions to their getting to the top for them is different with he who comes from a wealthy background.

Rich people has more chances to raise successful kids but it is not guaranteed. I've seen so many rich kids that were dumb as a rock. I also saw poor people's kids becoming doctors, engineers and stuff. When the kid is smart and focused, it is like from his day of birth, he does everything to reach the state of succession. Poor family don't mean anything to these people as they always find a way to thrive. These people are problem solvers and being poor is just another problem they'll eventually solve because that's their job to solve problems. Rich or poor it doesn't matter dumb kids who don't have a purpose in life on the other hand, they always come up with a reason for their failure and it is never them, they think they always did the right thing but somehow they are getting punished for being awesome. Obviously they don't know what they are talking about and they'll keep failing till they understand the reason. Don't get me wrong, being dumb itself isn't that bad. I mean some people are just unlucky with their genes, nobody can do anything about that but when you also have zero ambition and focus, then it becomes a mess.

You know people always say coming from a rich family makes success easy but that is not the full gist. Yes, coming from a wealthy family can be of an added advantage to you like when you come from a wealthy family, you have the opportunity of attending better school and making good connections but success is not restricted or limited to the rich kids alone. For example if you look at the likes of Dangote and Elon Musk, despite coming from a well to do family, they had to fight for their success, they didn't just sit on their family money, had a strong vision and planned their way to success with alot of everything.

It is no news that our environment shapes our perspective, but i don't think it decides our reality. If you were raised in lack and poverty, it can surely rub off on you, change your perspective and make you believe that success isn't achievable.

Environment can shape the way we see things but it does not lock our future. That you grew up in poverty can really affect your mindset and make you feel like success is far from you due to the lack of money, influence and the luxury of life that you have not experienced. But rich kids are exposed to money, business and big dreams since from their childhood so from the mentality alone it seems like they start with advantage again it is also important to know that this is not a one fits it all approach to success because that you grew up from an influential family does not mean you will be successful in life and that you grew up from a poor family does not mean you will not be successful. It is all tied to the efforts we put in developing our intra and inter personal knowledge and skills and the opportunities that come with it.

Success is dependent upon determination and luck, once you are determined, you will succeed as far as you keep doing that thing you are doing you will surely succeed regardless of you status be it poor or rich.

The only advantage the the rich people or family have is that they will have money to live the business and do it in large scale, but still with that if proper management the success will not come because there is no determination.
Business is all about ideas and how to implement the ideas, without a genius business plan, you will
Never succeed in business.

So, does a child of poor parents tend to be mentally strong when he falls back into poverty after struggling to become rich?
Seriously, I really have to stop and think about what happens to anyone who falls into poverty after being rich. No one is mentally strong when they fall back into poverty. It's not like in the movies, because I think both of them probably have mental issues. The difference is that children who are rich from their parents' wealth are more likely to lose their way than children born into poor families.

I don't think we can treat everyone the same. In this case, relationships and connections between individuals can help them out of trouble. Bankrupt people can become wealthy again if they remain trustworthy, and they can even become wealthy faster due to their extensive experience and connections compared to others who are start.

What do you think is the percentage reality(or percentages in reality)?

If you’re able to achieve to some percentage a level of success which does not categorize you in your initial position, then you’ve achieved a success to me. Born with a silver spoon gives you the privilege to grow yourself much better to be successful because of the affluent people surrounding you and access to connections and money that can help you grow faster in every field you want to advance in. The reality is that rich men are already one step ahead of the poor ones, so it is very hard not to spot the difference. But to me I’ll grade and commend a success wise person by improving their state of finance and comfortability from their initial state to another one.

[Miles2006]

Determination is the key not minding rich or poor background, the ability to make a difference qualifies such person as hard working mostly the poor. 50% of wealthy men once started from a poor background indicating the poor are more fast and smart when it comes to idea althoug the rich are known for staying wealthy not minding the years like a generational wealth or an asset preserve for future use, I’m sure the rich will not let the legacy die permanently rather they continue working hard so it’s normal both the rich and poor are at same level when it comes to money making yet the rich gets a quicker connection compared to poor.

I continue to imagine this when someone mentions this cycle. Who is defining strength, who is defining strength? Since the most financially successful individuals I know are not necessarily those who have gone through the most difficult times. It is them that were able to learn how to maneuver systems, read body language, and realize money is simply information on the allocation of resources

The fact of wealthy families losing money in the generations. That is wealth mostly just getting harder to see and not necessarily vanishing. Families with old money do not show off Lamborghinis. They possess land, art, private equity holdings. The Rockefeller wealth did not disappear, it only spread among hundreds of descendants, who continue to enjoy networks, education and opportunities that increase over time. By shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations, people are often referring not to cumulative power but to the liquid assets

This entire system deals with poverty and wealth as natural cycles, as weather patterns. It's not. Poverty is a policy choice. We can get rid of it tomorrow, should we choose. We are fully aware of the cost and also the interventions that can work. We do not do it because having a pool of desperate workers fulfills some economic purposes
