Why You Can't Get Something-for-Nothing

 

“If we are born poor, it is not our fault, but if we die poor, it is!”…… Bill Gates

Anyone who thinks he or she can get something-for-nothing forgets the natural law of “Cause and Effect.” The law of “Cause and Effect” is very thorough and does not spare the indolent. Even in physics, the law has been proven to work effectively. It simply means “action and reaction are always equal and opposite.” What you give is in direct proportion to what you get. In computer parlance, it is GIGO, “Garbage In, Garbage Out.” There is no free-lunch anywhere except in a mouse-trap. According to Napoleon Hill, “Life has no bargain counters. Everything has a price which must be paid in one form or another. No man is smart enough to cheat life. It has been tried by the smartest of men without success.” You can’t get something for nothing. What a farmer sows is what he reaps. “Life is like a cafeteria. You take your tray, select your food and pay at the other end. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. In a cafeteria, if you wait for people to serve you, you will wait forever.”  That is life for you. You make choices and pay the price to succeed.  Anyone who desires to go contrary to this natural course of events is making a clear choice to be poor. Poverty is a choice. Wealth is also a choice. What determines which you choose, is your thought-process followed by positive-action. That is what makes the difference.

 

Why You Must Always Make Good Choices

There are two sides to every coin, so it is with life. What you see is what you choose to see. Life chooses for you when you hesitate or refuse to choose for yourself. The choice life gives you cannot be the best for you because life does not know your taste. It is you and you alone who know best what you want. The choice of which way to take is yours alone. The choice of what to do and what not to do is also yours. You can choose the way to success or to failure, to wealth or to poverty. There is no such reality as failure unless you accept it as such. This is a clear choice; which is yours alone. To make it rich, you must steer clear of failures and avoid things that failures do. Take a look around you, no doubt you will find that those who have failed in life and are generally living poor have a lot in common. They tend to make poor and unhelpful choices all the time.
