Wishful thinking

I read an article in a newspaper where a beggar (with due respect) could afford to send his son for higher studies to a university where many middle and upper middle income parenst would find it hard to do. What does this denote? With will power, anything is possible and we for starters don't seem to have enough of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read and seen here, many are looking to make fast money in the shortest possible time. There are things which all of us can learn from this beggar's attitude. Don't you think so?

yes, you are correct in saying that from what you've seen here many are looking for fast money in the shortest possible time. that's true for me because i literally have no money and have to feed and support a child who is in college right now!
