If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire. Intelligence? Talent? No, the ultra-rich got to where they are through luck and brutality. The wealth creators of neoliberal mythology are some of the most effective wealth destroyers the world has ever seen ... George Monbiot
If you believe that you deserve to be rich, take a moment and define why you should be wealthy. Most entrepreneurs and professionals believe they deserve to be wealthy, which is a minimum net worth of Rs.10 crores or more. Majority of the wealthiest people feel they deserve to be rich. They may have inherited it and therefore have an inborn sense of deserving or they may have earned it and therefore feel proud of their accomplishments. There are rich people who cheated and stole to be rich, and there are also rich people who worked hard to be rich.
Do you deserve to be rich? Do you deserve everything you desire? No matter how badly you want to be wealthy; no matter what you’ve done with your life to date and what you plan on doing; no matter if you’re absolutely brilliant; no matter who you know or who knows you; no matter anything, you unquestionably, categorically, unequivocally definitely do not deserve to be rich. Simply put, no one deserves wealth. Being rich is not a right. At best, it’s a possibility.
Between 1947 and 1979, productivity in the US rose by 119%, while the income of the bottom fifth of the population rose by 122%. Between 1979 and 2009, productivity rose by 80% , while the income of the bottom fifth fell by 4%. In the same period, the income of the top 1% rose by 270%. This is to suggest that the economy has been rewarding the wrong skills. CEO's are no more deserving of the share of wealth they’ve captured than oil sheikhs. Without resorting to cheating or labour exploitation or tax evasion or over exploitation of natural resources or destruction of ecology, it is not easy become rich.

The path to move on in the right direction to become a self-made millionaire is:
- How committed are you to becoming wealthy?
- What are you willing to sacrifice in order to become rich?
- How can you translate your values and ideals into personal wealth?
- How do your capabilities place you squarely in the line of money?
- How are you offsetting your weaknesses in other areas?
- How are you going to leverage your network to make money?
- How do your better relationships make you money today?
Becoming wealthy is not an entitlement. It’s not a privilege nor is it a right. If you’re healthy and motivated, the advantage you have is that you very likely have the opportunity to pursue wealth, or happiness for that matter. It’s taking advantage of this opportunity by actively, forcefully, and smartly pursuing wealth that can potentially become rich.
If you grow up poor, you’ll most likely end up poor. If you grow up rich, you’ll likely end up rich. It’s all based on the way you view the world and money. Change your spending habits and you will change your attitude. You will begin to respect money and strangely you will gain more money in your life.
Since you don’t deserve to be rich, but you want to be rich, what are you going to do about it?

Rich doesn't deserve to be rich; poor doesn't deserve to be poor.
Life is not fair, ergo no one deserves anything.
