You’re right, my bad. I was thinking in terms of US, I misread. But yes, China and India are the new boom areas, many more haves there (Brazil, too, has been having some successes). I guess those hoping for a distribution of wealth, by which they meant Americans distributing their wealth, have gotten their wish.

It’s very simple — you have to think like an immigrant. Work hard (very hard), don’t take anything for granted, don’t let any opportunity slip past you. Sacrifice for the next generation.

Haves and have nots can also be seperated by expectations.

Some people expect to be handed their dream. Others expect to work for their dream.

For some being a have means they can eat. For others being a have means they can buy a new car every year.

Being a have IS relative, unlike some other things.
