Lazy people are soon poor;
hard workers get rich.
While this poem contrasts the lazy person with someone who work’s hard. It also tells us the consequences of both. This verse may seem somewhat obvious, but you need to personally ask yourself, which category do I fall into? As I said yesterday, the proverbs are general principles for life, and there could be situations where this may not apply. Generally though, if you are lazy, then don’t be surprised if you are not wealthy. If you work hard consistently, with persistence, and are wise with your money, then you will become financially secure. There is a balance to everything in life, if you work hard and then foolish with your spending, then you will reap the consequences. Strive to follow all principles found in Proverbs.
