Go Through Life's Rules and Be Unfair

People has the tendency to think that the rich got where they are right now because they are not following the rules. Actually the rich got where they are because they indeed ARE following the rules. They have empowered themselves by learning and educating themselves on the rules of business and finance which most of us tend to neglect. When all common individuals have the obligation to pay their taxes, the rich has the know how to make themselves tax excempt. When all the rest are working their bottoms off to earn money, the rich knows how to make money work for them. And all of these things done under rules and legality. This is one of the realizations I have come by in my learning, but it is not enough for me to realize this. I have to absorb and dig further on the rules of life.

Another realization I have reached today is that eventhough life is running by a set of rules, it does not mean it has to fair. And life indeed should not be fair as fairness is just a frame of mind. Fairness is a concept wherein all parties are given an equal share of what is given regardless of the attitude each individual puts forward. But given that each individual has their own attitude towards life, it is only right that life must be unfair. One individual could work hard and educate himself more than the other individual whi just expects hand me outs. Similarly one individual could be percieved as providing mre value at less cost from ten people and yer get more, rather than one person getting a deal for more with just five people. And this does not mean that peole should be unethical or that they should take advantage of other people, because this concept of life being unfair means you have to treat people right and just.

I am ready to be guided by a set of rules and accept that life is indeed unfair for me to be as enterprising and as smart as I can be.
