Topic: stupidity is so close to poverty - page 18. (Read 6165 times)

Becoming rich is not a function of being wise. Being rich is as a result of grabbing opportunity when it comes, Being in the right place at the right time, associating with the right people and in a conducive environment that what you are doing will strife.

I am a little less agree with what you write on this topic because ignorance does not cause or draw closer to poverty but what causes poverty is laziness that we have so that lazily people become stupid because they do not want to know something that is not yet known

I think poor people are not always involved in stupid, and ignorant people are always unrelated to poor, many are poor but sometimes they are creative in everything, and indeed everything in this world must use money, they have not been lucky for it and they cannot continue to be educated, maybe there is no way to get success

I don't believe that this is the only reason. There are a lot of poor people not because they are stupid.  There are a lot of reasons why people are poor. maybe they don't have the capability to have a decent Job. There are Stupid people but they are rich. so we can't say that Stupidity is close to poverty.

I think it's better if we should discuss the ones who have access to education and not the ones who are living in the streets. Those who are living in the streets sure don't have any chance of getting out of poverty since their brains aren't developed well, they are malnourished and underweight. Let's talk about the ones who are able to go to school but still end up being poor.

I think laziness and stupidity are directly connected to poverty. But I also think that laziness and stupidity are connected. It all boils down to laziness. Everyone who has a working brain has the capacity to learn. It's just that, others don't give it a time. We all have access to books and the majority of those considered poor even have a basic Smartphone. I don't know about your country but there are websites that you can freely surf on the web. These free sites usually become a source of information to those who do not have money to load up their phones. There's tons of tutorials on Facebook on how to connect to the Internet without needing to top up your phone or it would at least cost really little. Others spend tons of time scrolling their Facebook's news feed while others are looking up ways to connect to the Internet for free. The Internet is full of tutorials that you can't even decide which one to pick. Everything that you're going to learn by spending thousands of money by going to college can be learned through Youtube.

On the other hand, there are still people who decide to waste their times on mundane things. It's so ironic that those who need to do the most in life are doing the bare minimum. Once you got well-informed by things, you're not stupid anymore and when you're well-informed/well-read, guess what? You can make money from that. My past teachers always say "There's no hardworking person that's hungry." or the opposite "There's no hungry person that's hardworking."

it can be true, but not all poor people are stupid they are quite good at surviving with all the limitations they have, only what I know of poverty will have an impact on the low level of education and that is what causes ignorance, circumstances and reality of life to be the cause, but I am sure that if the poor person wants to work hard, keeps trying to turn his brain, I am sure that in the future their lives will change better as long as there is a willingness to move forward and the courage in him to try and start even though it is something new and risky
 

Poverty came from varied reasons. It comes from the people itself or in the environment he or she within. Being lazy and stupid can be caused why people are still in poverty. But sometimes the reason why people become poor it is because they don't have an opportunity. Opportunity to access to education, health, etc. which they can used to eliminate the poverty we used to be.

For me if you are stupid you cannot have a good or high wages companies or corporation. If you want to earn more money, you need to study first after that you have a knowledge about in the work in some companies. Also you can easily find a job if you are graduated.

I would say yes to a point because to be successful in life one requires wisdom to make accurate assessment to identify luxury business opportunities. But being rich isn't a guarantee to wisdom too.

It seems to be a bit of a connection when i first heard it. But we think about it in reverse, is it that stupid people are all poor people, the answer is obviously not, rich people are not lack of stupid people. Whether the poor are stupid, obviously not, may be they are just lazy.

There is another proverb in favor of this - poverty is not a vice. Although in my opinion it's better to be rich and smart.

Some poor people are not in such predicament simply because they were stupid. It could have been that luck did not shine on them.

It don't sounds good to me. I don't believe that stupidity is close to poverty because there are many poor that are intelligent. It is just that they have no money to finance their needs. The rich are not all intelligent too, they are just more privilege because everything the want is right in front of them.

Of course, but let me tell you this. A lot of people are not in school but are able to make it to the top of the chain. A lot of people are actually considering going to college as a bad move in their career and is nothing but a waste of time. I actually do agree with that. I mean, if you do have the connection and you basically already know everything that's taught in school, there's really no reason to be in school. The only time that you're going to be needing a diploma is when you're aiming for the lower part of the chain and become an employee. Those who are privileged enough don't have to be an employee. They only need the skill, knowledge, and connection in order to become self-employed. As you can see, rich kids become rich adults because they have been trained since their lives how to be and what to study in order to not be part of the lower chain.

The only people who are allowed to use their mind as an excuse for being poor are those that have mental problems. Those who have a perfectly functioning brain has more reasons underlying "stupidity". No one is stupid, only uninformed and misinformed people. Both can be fixed by reading a lot of materials which can easily be found on the Internet. People just like using their economic state as a reason to their incompetency.

No. There are also smart that are not lucky, that's why they are not a rich. There are also people that are stupid that won in a lottery. In short, that phrase is not 100% accurate. However, if we look for the statistics, those people who became a millionaire are those people that have wise mind and dilligent thinking.

I know a lot of poor people that are so eager to study, to know more that they don't know and they can't achieve it in their houses or farms. We can't say that poor people are stupid since we can't just base their wealth in their knowledge.

Also, you are saying that you are one of those people who knows it all, tell me, why would these stupid people need patience? You see, they don't need patience if we will be talking about these poor people, they need to initiate, they need to be always moving if they don't want to stay poor forever. Knowledge will not cut it, if they have their knowledge, they need to apply it, they need to shape it in order to have the skill they needed to lift theirselves up in the ground and climb themselves up to the top.

They can make hundreds of different jobs in the society today. Being born in poverty is not a good reason to fight it. In my country a lot of rich people without education, they just strive and have a good luck.

I do agree that stupidity leads to poverty, but not all poors are fools. It's like saying - look, today bitcoin fell down by 40% and from wealthy man i turned to poor, - so i'm a fool now. Nah, i don't think so.

Yes, For me they are twin the stupidity and poverty because if you are stupid you cannot work in a high earnings company. Also you can't found a good job or high price wages because your knowledge is not enough to work in that company. You need to study if you want to earn more money.

This is part of life in reality, some people who have a lot of luck in their life could become rich overnight by striking the big prize in the state lottery draw, and they might be the big winners who do not even buy the lottery tickets on a regular basis, I believe there are a lot of people who have been buying the state lottery tickets constantly for many years but they are just not lucky enough to strike the big prize.
