There's another injustice I have seen under the sun: the poor think they lack money or power when, in truth, they lack advantage.
Those who are winning in the marketplace and raking in big income are not any better or more naturally gifted. They're just better placed.
The playing field is not even, and those standing on raised grounds can see better and shoot better.
The poor, however, don't know that there are better places to shoot from.
If two children are poised to compete in a wrestling match where the prize is a big financial reward, the game will hardly be determined by the levels of talent.
The poor kid may never know that they can hire a professional trainer or wear superior sports gear that provides a better grip and faster movements. They'll never know that there's such a thing as sports nutrition that's entirely legal within the rules, and it gives the competitor better stamina and more endurance.
The poor kid also may not know about watching great wrestlers and applying their tricks to edge past the competition.
Ultimately, the winner is the one who has the advantage of superior training and preparation.
In other words, information trumps talent all the time.
The poor lack an advantage because they're blocked from superior information. They're not shown where natural advantage is.
The winners are not winning because they're better. They're winning because they know better.
They have advantageous information.
Understand this: you can flip your life around by just seeking better information.
A long time ago, to access information, you needed to be enrolled in an institution. You needed a library access card and a student number.
Today, you only need the internet and curiosity. With self-direction, you can put yourself in front in any field. You can take positions of advantage any time you decide.
Many people, however, are only curious for nonsense.
Learn to use your time online like a session at the university. Log into social media like you're logging into a library.
Engage online teachers like you're engaging professors and industry tutors.
See how many advantages you unlock. You'll gain classified information for free.
You'll learn of ripe opportunities before others learn of them.
You'll understand that the most lucrative and ripe opportunities are never advertised in mainstream media but rather passed along relationship networks and whispered in restaurant lounges.
In short, the rich don't get ahead because they have any natural advantage over the rest. Rather, they get rich because they have the advantage of better information.
Start investing in learning. Seek to know first, and earning will become automatic.
