This guy is right, however his words fall on deaf ears, in fact that woman becomes visibly angry when she hears what he has to say.
The rich should not be envied or slaughtered as another TA user has suggested, instead their success should serve as an example for others, a source of inspiration. They could do it and so can you.
As long as you are healthy you can improve your life and escape poverty. Even if you are stupid, even if you are very simple, there are always ways to improve your life.
Loser path: the rich have all the money and I have none, so I cant change anything = thats the worst kind of thinking in life, someone who doesn't believe in his/her abilities has already lost. This path in life is easy since someone with this thinking pattern does not want to sweat and does not to progress, he forfeits his hypothetical success and thinks he cant have it.
Winner path: ok, I wasn't born in a rich family but I'm capable of improving myself and my life, I need to think, to struggle and be creative, if I do it all right, I will become rich = this path is not an easy one but its by far the most challenging and most rewarding.
The main reason why there is poverty in lets say Africa is not colonization which happened hundreds of years ago, its not the corrupted governments, its not the climate, its the fact that most Africans take the loser path in life, either due to laziness or to cultural habits of the country they live in.
