The difference in the thinking and habits of the rich and poor interested researcher Thomas Corley . He watched the representatives of both groups for 5 years and made interesting conclusions.
Here are 6 logical tasks, some of which are solved literally in seconds, and the search for answers to others will require a lot of effort. Dare to test yourself? And the right answers are waiting for you at the very end.
1. Ignore meeting new people
Rich like to meet new people. 68% of wealthy people said their love for new acquaintances and only 11% of poor people. Most of those who have achieved financial stability are making every effort to produce and maintain a good impression of themselves in the future . They do not forget to congratulate new acquaintances (and old ones too) on holidays and important events.
2. Believe in destiny
To rely on the will of fate sometimes does not hurt, for example, when you can not choose between a red and blue skirt for a long time. But as for serious issues, the rich think that they themselves determine their own way of life . But 90% of low-income people write their failures to fate and other factors beyond the control of a person, and to improve well-being they invest not in their own education, but in fortune-tellers and lottery tickets.
3. Hate your work
I like what I do, so 85% of people who have achieved financial success answer . Low-income slopes see in their work only cons, and, you see, with this approach it is difficult to increase earnings. After all, if a professional occupation isn't likeable, it must be changed , and not waste time on nagging.
4. Do not pay attention to health
Rich people devote a lot of time to their health, and this concept includes not only timely visits to the doctor, but also the right way of life, sports (76% of successful people exercise 4 times a week), balanced nutrition, no bad habits . Among those who earn little, only 13% see a connection between well-being and success.
5. Be afraid to take risks
Risk to get rich and drink champagne, only 6% of the poor and more than half of the rich participants in this experiment agreed. Moreover, many wealthy people stressed that at least once the risk brought them major setbacks , but they tried not to focus on them, but to benefit.
6. Watch a reality show
Among those who are far from material prosperity, 78% adore programs in which the viewer is invited to observe the details of someone else's life. Among the provided reality shows do not look more than 6%. It should be noted that the rich people in principle do not really like the TV , and most of them watch it less than an hour a day. It's the same with the Internet: successful people, if it's not about work, spend more than an hour surfing the net.
7. Little to read
"Stop reading books means to stop thinking," Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky once said. With the classic agree 88% of the rich who read (books on self-development, professional materials, historical literature) at least 30 minutes every day. The same amount of time is given to reading only 2% of the poor.
8. It's too late to wake up
More than half of businessmen with a high level of prosperity, which Thomas Corley watched, wake up at least 3 hours before the start of the working day, that is, at about 5 am. Free morning time they spend on planning cases, working on personal projects (for those who work in corporations), playing sports.
Many successful people give in the morning 10-15 minutes to do meditation or just silently, in a calm environment, to reflect on the current state of affairs. Early recovery does not mean lack of sleep at all, 89% of the wealthy people sleep 7-8 hours a day, going to bed at the time recommended by doctors - between 21:00 and 22:00.
9. Communicate with toxic people
96% of people who live from salary to salary in their close environment have those who like to complain about life, gossip. Successful ones communicate with people who do not "clog the air" with negative, but inspire with their example. Increase the number of such personalities in their environment will help visit cultural events, volunteering, membership in various non-profit organizations. And as long as there are standing people, it's better to give free time to yourself.
10. Live beyond your means
Most poor people spend much more than they earn. Surely among your acquaintances there are those who take loans for expensive cars, phones and other consumer needs, without having the material capabilities and, most importantly, the urgent need for such things. Among the well-off, many adhere to the following pattern of income distribution:
- 20% - savings account;
- 25% - payment of housing (rent, mortgage);
- 15% - food;
- 10% - entertainment;
- 5% - the maintenance of the car;
- The remaining money goes to such non-permanent expenses (which arise as necessary, not permanently), as clothing, treatment, training.
And how do you think, what else is needed in order to increase prosperity?
