WHY LOTTERIES ARE MAGNETS FOR LAZY
AND STUPID PEOPLE.
It amazes me that poor people can read story after story of rags-
to-riches millionaires (not sports stars or celebrities, but real stories of
“average” people who made it big) and yet still tell themselves, “The
only way I’ll ever get rich is by winning the lottery.”
Bottom line, people who think this way are either lazy or stupid or
both. Am I being too harsh? I don’t think so.
Think about this scenario. A rich person could say, “I was a dirt-broke auto mechanic who was one hundred thousand in debt, but then
I went to a seminar and learned how to start an Internet business.Five
years later, I am a millionaire.”
A smart person would think, “I wonder what seminar he went to?
How did he do it? I wonder if I could learn to do that.”
A stupid person would think, “Internet sounds complicated. I could
never do that. ”He wouldn’t think about the fact that if a former auto
mechanic was able to learn how to do it, he could probably learn to do
it, too.
A lazy person, upon hearing this same story would make excuses
like, “But that guy probably sits infront of a computer all day. I’m not a
computer geek, you are know.”
Truth is, a lazy person would be rather make excuses why she can’t
do something than to bother investigating how she could possibly do
it herself.
So instead, lazy and stupid people will continue to play the lottery
and keep dreaming (with their other lazy and stupid friends) about
what they would do with the money if they won.
Being lazy and stupid is far worse than being broke. Being lazy and
stupid is pretty much the lowest you can fall. If you’re broke but you
have information and you’re willing to change, then you’re not going to
stay broke for long.
