If You Are Born Poor It’s Not Your Mistake, But If You Die Poor It’s Your Mistake

~Bill Gates~

What is the first thought that enters your mind after reading this quote from Bill Gates? Founder of Microsoft

Memories

As a child growing up, my mother would use the term "I need to rob Peter to pay Paul." At that time I did not understand what she meant, but remember I did not want to do that, I thought I would go to jail. As I became older, I began to understand what my mother meant. If a bill was due, and she had no cash to pay for it, do get me wrong, my mother is one of the hardest working people I know, but she would have to use one of her many credit cards to pay the bill, this did not make her happy.

Do you think this is the same path I followed? Why or why not? Do you remember your parents doing the same in your households?

Open Minded

I think Bill Gates wanted individuals to be open-minded to the possibilities in life. If he did not have a vision, would Microsoft exist, and would he be one of riches people in the world. I think we need think outside the box sometimes.

Future

I have started a business in Marketing with Wealthy Affiliate. My grandson and I, are going to try stocks, I have already bought him a book so he can learn. We would also would like to try cryptocurrency. I want my Grandson to know there are going to be somethings in life we may fail, but I would rather fail them at least knowing we tried, then not at all, who knows we may not fail.
