Rags To Riches: I’M POSSIBLE

Not everyone who’s rich today was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Although most rich and successful people may say that they owe what they have to their parents, but what is really more inspiring is when we hear stories that have humble beginnings.

First, let’s discuss what it’s like to live the life of zero grandeur. Huff Post’s Business News tells us a heart-warming story in their article Behind The Poverty Statistics: Real Lives, Real Pain. It states:

“At a food pantry in a Chicago suburb, a 38-year-old mother of two breaks into tears.

She and her husband have been out of work for nearly two years. Their house and car are gone. So is their foothold in the middle class and, at times, their self-esteem.

“It’s like there is no way out,” says Kris Fallon.

She is trapped like so many others, destitute in the midst of America’s abundance. Last week, the Census Bureau released new figures showing that nearly one in six Americans lives in poverty – a record 46.2 million people. The poverty rate, pegged at 15.1 percent, is the highest of any major industrialized nation, and many experts believe it could get worse before it abates.

The numbers are daunting – but they also can seem abstract and numbing without names and faces.

Associated Press reporters around the country went looking for the people behind the numbers. They were not hard to find.”

Is there really no way out when you fall into the pit of poverty?
I guess the only reasonable answer would be this: If there’s a will, there’s got to be a way. Or if there’s not way, then you have to make your own way.

The world we live in is not a friendly one. Circumstances can change in a blink of an eye and people can be made or broken over night. A rich person can become “broke” in just a matter of minutes when he spends his money stupidly in casinos or clubs. On the other hand, a poor guy can become rich (maybe not instantly), over a period of time, when he works wisely and persistently.

Here are some examples of these inspirational stories as foretold by Business Insider‘s 15 Billionaires Who Were Once Dirt Poor:

“All from humble beginnings, these 15 people not only climbed to the top of their industries but also became some of the richest people in the world.

Although the rich do get richer, these rags-to-riches stories remind us that through determination, grit, and a bit of luck anyone can overcome their circumstances and achieve extraordinary success.”

A video would make more impact, so here’s more stories that will surel;y make you believe that the word IMPOSSIBLE is just a mind set; in fact, if you arranged the space differently, it can read “I’M POSSIBLE”.

The next time you think something can not be done, think again. It’s all really just a matter of perspective… and hard work, of course! Luxury lifestyle and luxury comfort isn’t just for the rich and the famous. Anyone can experience how it feels like to live the life of glamour. Even driving the latest model of Aston Martin will do the trick.
