My daughter cannot marry a POOR man.

In a conference, billionaire Bill Gates was asked the following:

Could she accept that her daughter would marry a poor or modest man?

Bill replied:
"First, she understands that wealth does not mean having a bank account with a lot of money.

Wealth is first and foremost the ability to create wealth.

Example: Someone who wins money in the lottery or gambling.

Even earning 100 million he is not a rich man, he is a poor man with a lot of money.

This is why 90% of lottery millionaires become poor again after 5 years.

There are also rich people who have no money.
Example: most entrepreneurs.
They are already on the path to wealth, even if they don't have money, because they are developing their financial intelligence and that is wealth.

How are the rich and the poor different?
If you see a young man who decides to graduate, learn things, trying to continually improve, know that he is a rich man.

If you see a young man who thinks that the problem is the State, and believes that the rich are all thieves and that they constantly criticize, you should know that he is a poor man.
The rich are convinced that they only need information and training to get off the ground, the poor believe that others should give them money to get off the ground.

In conclusion, when I say that my daughter will not marry a poor man, I am not talking about money.
I'm talking about this man's ability to create wealth.

Sorry for what I'm about to say, but most criminals are poor.

When faced with money they lose their minds, that's why they steal, assault, etc.
For them this is a grace, because they don't know how they could make money themselves.

One day, a bank guard found a bag full of money, took it and handed it to the bank manager.
People called this man an idiot, but in reality that man was just a rich man who had no money.

A year later, the bank offered her a receptionist position. 3 years later he was in charge of clients and 10 years later he headed the bank's regional management.
He now manages hundreds of employees and his annual bonuses exceed the value he could have stolen.

Wealth is above all a state of mind, my friend."
When I was in college I remember some girls telling me; That guy drives a nice car, he'll be a good candidate for me. I told them: but that's not his car, he drives his dad's car.
Others said: that boy has a small house and many employees. I told them: that house belongs to his parents and those employees they have are paid for by his parents.
Today, several years later, several of them told me: "I should have listened to you and understood that it doesn't matter what you have but what you do with what you have (resource management) and how you cultivate it (intelligence)."
