i am wondering, which one is more fulfilling in life: born with the silver spoon in your mouth or working hard on your way to riches? which one would you prefer?

I think it would be better to work your way to riches as it gives us a sense of fulfillment in our lives. We can proud that what we are is solely the cause of our effort and hard work and not due to any other reason.

i'd rather work hard on my way to riches. It is very fulfilling and I can be proud of myslef for that. I will appreciate more the fruits of my hardwork and will value more what I have achieved. It's better If I start poor at least I have experienced that I have nothing inside my pocket. Though it takes a lot of sacrifice, but is is worth it. And people will see my efforts, so they would also work hard so that their lives will get better through good deeds and hard work Most of the time, when a person is born on a silver platter, he doesnt know the value of money and just spends as he wants. He doesnt know how to work hard and if time comes that he will become poor, he would not know how to survive

i truly agree with you it is more fulfilling working your way to your achievements and life and knowing that your work hard for it and didn't depend on someone to acquire it to tend to take care of it more for it is a product of your sweat and blood. do you agree with me? thanks for the post!!!

I would have liked the easy way out. But this road may not be the best solution.. I would rather have to work my way up to get where I needed to be in life. That way, no one can ever say that they helped me get where I am at. I would rather give all the credit to God, and only him.

I would rather be born rich just because I was born poor and I am still working my way to get rich. It's hard and I think if I was born rich then it wouldn;t be hard to keep my self rich. Then I could buy all the things I wanted and I wouldn't have to worry about my bill's or if I had enough money to pay them. Being born rich would be a good life thats what I think.
