"Rich people think differently than you do", rich people's thinking VS poor people's thinking

I heard a story about coal mining before. A man complained to God, why are the rich so rich, but why are he so poor?

The man refused, so God took back all the wealth of the rich man and asked the rich man and the complaining man to start from scratch together, digging coal together.

So, the two started taking action. On the first day, the poor man quickly dug a load of coal and sold it because he worked often and had good physical strength. The rich man, because I don't work very often, so I barely dug a load of coal in two days.

The poor sold the coal they dug up quickly and went directly to eat and drink spicy food. However, unlike the poor, the rich did not use the money they sold to enjoy themselves directly. , but took care of several people and helped him dig coal together.

The second day, the third day...the two of them were still like this.

So one year has passed, and the rich have become rich again. On the other hand, the poor, although they have been digging coal, always sell the dug coal immediately for immediate enjoyment, and they are still poor.

What problem does this story illustrate? The biggest difference between the poor and the rich lies in their thinking, because different thinking leads to different behaviors.

The outstanding rich people I know , there is no one who does not insist on learning, and the poor not only do not study, but they also laugh at those who study.
