"Losers quit when they are tired.  Winners quit when they have won."

Seems like ordinary people use motivation to try to achieve something.  Motivation is good only for the short term and it seldom lasts. 

Successful people don't get motivated; they get inspired.

Where do you get this idea??  First off, define rich??  I hve never heard this before.  You work your butt off and say you are poor??  i doubt that, You have some form of computer, you have a job, you must have a roof over your head and have decent clothes and food to eat, I hardly think you are poor by virtue of even being here. A poor person has nothing, obviously not what you have. You may not be rich but you're not poor.

take a good look at a poor person, they aren't working, many don't want to work, they prefer their lifestyle of gaining from the working class.  many poor people would like to work but haven't skills perhaps because they are mentally challenged.

Settle back and count your blessings and don't condemn the rich because they found success, you could do the same, maybe  your don't work hard enough. 

That's a pretty all-inclusive, biased statement. 

Some rich people are not so bad. Others expect everyone to be rich. Some rich people are not so happy and they are seemingly mean at heart.

If it wasn't for the hard workers that produced products.. the rich would be nothing. I have seen rich people that really aren't that intelligent. It amazes me. Some give up quite a bit to further their carriers. Such as their kids and their wives.

Money doesn't make a person.. it just makes it a little easier on the person.

Thank you for answer. I have heard this on the media, millionaires being interviewed saying they

worked hard and that anyone could be like them if they work hard and poor people are all feckless

and work shy. I don't think that a refuse collector will ever become a millionaire if he empties more bins. He will just become more tired. I worked hard as an engineer and took promotion but the added responsibility caused me illnes through increase in stress caused by constant anxiety about the job. I had to take a less stressful job for my healths sake.

My computer is a hand me down from my son, my home is rented, and I've never been able to buy a motor car. My father was a builder he worked hard all his life , came home tired and worn out and retired on a meagre pension.  I'm sick of hearing about Pop stars holidaying in the Bahamas and owning several homes. I don't think they worked hard I think they just got lucky

some of them are honest enough to admit it .    Ron.

It is not a saying that covers everybody,,however when i worked at a coles warehouse.the hardest workers were the pickers,they were also the least payed..the system has been broken for a long time,,>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..
