Getting rich quickly...Many were called but few are chosen.

A couple of days ago, while watching the news on TV a news anchor gave his opinions/comments on one of the top news which had just been shown about the difference between politics and religion.For me I think to be one or be associated with any of these group begets influence and power. The anchor person said, anyone who wants to get rich and powerful they must join politics while others must create or join a sectarian group(religious group).What can you say about guys?

That is true though. I wish people join politics because they want to help people but that is rarely the case

So they walks the wrong path if that's what you mean my friend.Maybe students today are thinking someday there turn will come, they will also experience what this politicians are enjoying because once they are there they don't want to release the position or even vie for a higher office.thanks for the thread...

i believe that either politics or religion, if the intention is bad it still will lead one to nowhere.

Yeah, if one's intention in joining any in this area is not from the heart than it won't last long. In the beginning maybe but in the end the consequences is bigger.thanks for your time my friend..

Yeah , your right just take a pick in which field you will be most likely to succeed in less time.If you are good on convincing people I guess you should join politics because this is the area where money usually talks...thanks

Somehow it's true that people are getting into politics for gain of power and money. There so many politicians who get rich easily because of corrupt practices. But i believe not all of them do these things.

YEs, it's good to see that some politicians are really going int politics to help and serve the people. It's just sad that some of them lose their positions or don't get the position they deserve because of vote-buying..

The problem comes with human nature. We all want something for nothing. We all want to get rich quick. However, if you really investigate the matter, those who are getting rich are getting rich slowly. These people are working hard and are driven. They are intelligent and aren't afraid to think out of the box. They get out of that comfort zone. I would say most aren't in politics or religion.

Yes, not many people want to work to achieve success. And those who are rich, still want to get richer. it's great that many people get rich out of hard work too- but the politicians still control the society..

Some may have made money in politics.But it isn't easy to rise in that field.It is even more difficult to thrive and make money as most of us have a different value system.I'd prefer working hard in our chosen field to this difficult and manipulative profession.

Yes, it's not easy t get a high position in politics..maybe htat is why when they get it, they try their best in keeping it with the family- like mst politicians arund our place here do. They monopolize power and refuse to let go..

Yes, you're right. many of us try so hard to get rich but only few succeeded! I guess I am somewhat agreeable to that idea that those in politics and religious organization get rich easily. I am a witness of how a former lowly employee suddenly acquired properties and assets by preaching a religious group. I have nothing against them but find it very immoral and indecent! Morality and decency should be the foundation of anything that has to do with religion.

Yes, only really few succeed in doing honest jobs and businesses..Maybe some people are just so tired of working so hard that's why they turn to those bad things..

Hey Stan! In our country, to be powerful one must have a lot of money coz money is power and in our country, only people with money can be in politics! Well, most of them are! In here if you don't have money, how can you buy votes and win? So politicians make an investment and then get a lot when they are in position. It is rare to see politicians working as public servants, they are more of a boss rather than the servants of the citizen. People from a religious group can earn money from that one too hahaha! IN fact they don't get taxed at all!.

Yes, I have never heard of anyone who is in the politics, who isn't rich to begin with..and when they're already in politics, some of them get even richer. It's really sad that some people just want to get into politics to earn money and not to serve..

Hi stanley, They are right. If one wants to get rich easily, do as what they do. The glaring inconsistency of it is that they both preach love, peace, prosperity, equality, blah, blah, blah... still the poor remains poorer and they get richer. I, too, want to get rich, but not in their ways. I shall not be able to face my conscience when the final moment comes: to die rich out of the lies I made.

I agree with you too- only the rich get richer, while the poor people's condition only grow worse- unless they join the rich and powerful and suck up to them.. Yes, even though you have all the riches in the world, it won't make you happy.

that's the trend now. yeah, people who wanted instant riches make politics and religions a business, thats why they are corrupt. They do that for their own needs. im not pointing them all, but there are some or even more than those true public servant.

I can only point really few people who are in politics to serve the people.. I don't get why people want to get rich more even though they are very rich already..money can't buy happiness.

I think it just takes the mindset of attracting abundance to you, and not dependent upon affiliations. As long as you are set upon becoming rich, all other things won't matter. One thing it helps to have is faith in yourself and the belief that you can become rich and prosperous.

Thank you so much for your response. I agree with you- not only politics and religion can make you rich, but most importantly, faith and perseverance.. If you have something to fight for or want to give a good life to..
