“Success is not something you wait for, but rather something you should pursue. Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities to find you. Seize common everyday occasions and make them great. Act on your dreams and they shall be yours.”

Wealth File # 5
Rich people focus on opportunities.
Poor people focus on obstacles.

“Rich people see opportunities. Poor people see obstacles. Rich people see potential growth. Poor people see potential loss. Rich people focus on the rewards. Poor people focus on risks… Poor people make choices based on fear. Their minds are constantly scanning for what is wrong or could go wrong in any situation. Their primary mind-set is, “What if it doesn’t work?” or, more often, “It won’t work.”

“Rich people, as we’ve said earlier, take responsibility for the results in their lives and act upon the mind-set, “It will work because I’ll make it work. Rich people expect to succeed. They have confidence in their creativity, and they believe that should the doo-doo hit the fan, they can find another way to succeed.”
