The poor and rich were given a mountain of coal. The rich got rich and the poor got poor

At present, it is widely believed that there is a big difference between rich and poor. And changing one to another category is very difficult. In fact, the poor and rich people differ in their way of thinking. And financial well-being and other signs of a high financial situation are, in fact, only its consequence. Apartments, cars and bank accounts - this is only the result that is achieved through a way of thinking. Let us prove this by the example of one interesting parable.

There was one poor man who came to the monk because he was too tired to live a difficult and unhappy life. He complained to the monk how poor he was, sobbing uncontrollably. Crying a little, he asked the monk: “The world is so unfair. Why can the rich live comfortably while the poor live miserably? ”

How can the world be fairer?

Having heard his complaint, the monk then answered with a smile on his face: “Then, what do you think, can the world be fair?” The poor man quickly answered: “Letting the rich become as poor as I am and do the same work as me. If after that the rich remain rich, I will no longer complain. ” Then the monk agreed to satisfy the poor man’s request and changed the life of the rich man, making him as poor as the poor man who always complained about it.

A mountain full of coal

Each — a rich man and a poor man — was given a mountain full of coal so that they could mine coal and sell it in order to earn a living. The monk gave them both a month to complete the mining of coal from the mountain.

Then they both began to work on their task. The poor man, accustomed to hard work, found his new job easy. He had no problems mining large quantities of coal. In exchange, he earned a lot of money and was able to provide for his family.

It was difficult for the rich to mine coal

Meanwhile, it was extremely difficult for a wealthy man who was not used to hard work to mine coal from a mountain. He spent a lot of time to get only a small amount. Only after sunset did the rich man manage to get a wheelbarrow with coal. Then he sold it and bought only a bun for dinner. After that, the rich man saved the money that remained after he bought food for himself.

The rich man hired two poor people

The next day, the poor man, as usual, went to work, and the rich man decided to walk around the market. Soon after, he brought two poor men to his work.

Both poor were tall and strong, suitable for hard work in a coal mine. The rich man did not work. He only gave directions to his new employees.

In just a short time, a rich man managed to collect a lot of coal. He quickly sold it and used the profits to hire more workers to work for him.

The rich man made a lot of profit

That day, he made quite a bit of profit compared to a poor man who worked on his own.

A month passed, the poor fellow did not finish the work entrusted to him by the monk. He also had no savings, as he used all the money he received from selling coal to buy tasty food. Unlike the poor, the rich man now had many workers, and he managed to mine a lot of coal and made big profits.

The rich man became rich again

Later, a rich man used his profits to invest in many enterprises, and quickly became rich again, like a month ago. In the end, the poor fellow surrendered and no longer complained.

Success is not how much you can do, but how many people you can hire to do a lot of work for you! You can never achieve great things alone, so you will need the help of many people to do this for you. So, always think of innovative and smart ways if you want to succeed in a short time!

If you liked this story, why not share it with friends and family so that we can all be inspired by a rich person!

Ingenious! And who sold coal and when? If the rich only at sunset set up a small cart? Or is there a buyer of coal around these mountains walking around in crowds around the clock? Yeah. Get one, but still need to be able to sell.
And who guarded these mountains of coal? There around the mountains of coal "left miners" there will be a tuyeva hecha. Perhaps with batons.
And the rich man took it, walked around the market and immediately immediately found two healthy and strong ambuls who are ready to plow him with a Kyle and carry coal? The labor market is clearly oversaturated. Directly what kind of hothouse conditions))) went through the market and found ideal workers.
And which market? Is it just such a "magic" and picks up any amount of coal at any price? And I thought that bargaining before buying is a tradition. And when there are more than one seller, they break prices.
The reverse side of the coin - dumping did not occur nirazu? Didn’t it come to any of these two (not to mention the "left earners") to play a bit with prices? And to hell with the idea of ​​falling off the wage labor right in the bud?
Tale and life are two different things.

There is a book called Kalila and Dimna. An ancient book here also has a story similar in meaning (“Panchatantra” (Sanskrit पञ्चतन्त्र, Pañcatantra IAST, literally “five principles or texts”) is a monument to Sanskrit narrative prose. It developed in the 3rd – 4th centuries AD. e., has a more ancient folkloric origins, while the earliest surviving Sanskrit manuscripts of “Panchatantra” belong to the XI century. Authorship, the history of the book, the degree of its “folklore” and “literary processing” is still unresolved scientific research Tradition calls the author of a certain Brahmin Vishnusharman, who allegedly lived in the 5th-6th centuries, who, at the request of one Raja, taught him wise government and compiled this collection of allegorical instructive stories.

And after reading the tale we are once again convinced: honestly, do not earn! Or "fabulous" or scam - fraud.
According to the condition of the monk, it was necessary not to hire workers "for himself", but to mine coal himself. Then the question arises, why did the poor man produce coal himself (absolutely stupid, or what?) Because the coal was mountainous, and the profit from the sale was good ... he would call all his relatives, friends ... even if he didn’t get rich, he would give an opportunity " their "earn.
And still it’s not clear why the poor remained poor. "He was buying delicious food for the family." And all ??? is the poor family accustomed to "eat tasty and not work"? And the rich man, therefore, has no family. One small bun for food is enough for him. In general, logically, the poor should have had enough money, and he would have become the middle class, although not over-rich, but no longer poor. Why didn’t this happen? The author does not explain.
And most importantly, what is the author’s deception, we read carefully: “Having heard his complaint, the monk then answered with a smile on his face:“ Then, what do you think, can the world be fair? ”The poor man quickly answered:“ Letting the rich become as poor as I and do the same work as I. If after that the rich remain rich, I will not complain anymore. ”Then the monk agreed to satisfy the poor man’s request and changed the life of the rich man, making him as poor as that poor man who always complained on this."
Once again: "LET THE RICH DO THE SAME WORK, WHICH I AM." But either the monk deceived the poor, or the rich man deceived the monk.BUT! He did the same work only on the first day. And then he did not do this work, he hired other people to do it for himself. That's all !
That’s the whole secret (according to the author). If you want to become rich, make other people do your work, work for yourself. And relax yourself, live for your pleasure.

The rich man used other people's labor, hired other poor people for food. This is the problem that most poor people work for food. Here the answer is given. The rich man did not buy a big bun, but hired workers for the remaining money. Biology. A person who is not engaged in physical activity to maintain life needs fewer calories than someone who needs to regain strength after hard physical labor. He needs more calories for subsequent labor. And here the question is for society: how can a society function, where everyone is looking for an employee to do heavy physical labor.

There are more questions than answers. The rich man got used to be content with a small bun, and the poor man to gobble "from the belly"?
And still it’s not clear where the majority of the money earned by the poor man got to.
And about the rich man - becoming a business is just a fairy tale. On the first day, the rich man earned almost nothing. On the second day, he didn’t work for half a day, he looked for workers, when he found, his workers earned (for the time remaining) twice as much as the poor, but minus his salary. What did the rich man eat on the second day? Once again a small bun? Or nothing at all ... And in the third? How much of the profit went to these two workers and how soon was he able to hire more?
It’s like a fairy tale about “How one man fed two generals.” 2 generals came to the island, where everything was in abundance. And just there was no man. But, they said, and the man appeared, and happily began to work for these generals (and why would it). Well, and here!

This is a good question. And I think automation and robotics will come first, than the kind of society that you described will arise. Rather, even society will accept with great discontent that their work has been replaced by automation systems and robots and now they have to change skills

You will be surprised, but all the Russians accrued compensation and social payments every month for the past 20 years, but no one knew about it! Only recently has an official portal appeared to verify payments and to MAKE MONEY, here - http://sotsschet.club I was in complete shock when I found out that Russia owed me 132450 rubles! But after going through all the instructions on the site, I got my money on the card in a couple of minutes!

I really agree. Another modern story. Bogatz created an iPhone, which costs a penny at cost, a couple of clips of the necessary advertising, articles. That’s cool! Brand! The sale starts. Wow! What begins here is not only that they are buying at frantic prices, while crushing and walking over each other's heads. And how much pride the poor have that they threw a lot of money. The main thing is to be in a trend!
