There is a famous saying: He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. This is also half truth. The correct saying is: Mr Rich was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and Mr Poor was born with an incentive spoon in his mouth. This is the correct dichotomy. You have heard a lot: Mr A, Mr B, or Mr C is born with a silver spoon in his mouth. But the other person is also born with something. The dichotomy of rich and poor is wrong. The right opinion is to say that Mr Rich was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and Mr Poor was born with an incentive spoon in his mouth.
Poverty is considered to be the greatest problem. Throughout the world, people are speaking on eradication of poverty. Nobody understands that the person whom we see poor today becomes rich tomorrow. Nobody thinks about this. Our former president Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, when he was young, was born into a poor family. His family was not in a position to pay his school fee. If a person saw him then, what would he say? He belongs to a poor family and will not make progress. But the same person became the president of India, the highest office in the country. What does this mean? Every poor person has another person in him. The dichotomy prevalent among people is wrong. The dichotomy of haves and have nots is wrong.
Dr Abdul Kalam belonged to have nots category in his youth. But later he came into haves category. The dichotomy of haves and have nots is wrong. The correct dichotomy is of potential haves and actual haves. The dichotomy of haves and have nots is wrong. The correct one is the dichotomy of potential haves and actual haves. In his youth, Dr Abdul Kalam belonged to potential haves category. Now he is in the actual haves category. This is the correct dichotomy.
What do you understand by this? What happens if we form an opinion by seeing Dr Abul Kalam's present and not consider his future? We'll say: He's very poor! He will not succeed! If we include the future, we will realize that this person has great potential. There is a famous saying: He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. This is also half truth. The correct saying is: Mr Rich was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and Mr Poor was born with an incentive spoon in his mouth. This is the correct dichotomy. You have heard a lot: Mr A, Mr B, or Mr C is born with a silver spoon in his mouth. But the other person is also born with something. The dichotomy of rich and poor is wrong. The right opinion is to say that Mr Rich was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and Mr Poor was born with an incentive spoon in his mouth. What does a poor man have? He has great incentive. A person born in a rich family is surrounded by affluence, cars, furnitures, house and money. His incentive gets suppressed. His incentive remains suppressed, it doesn’t emerge. But a poor person's incentive emerges very powerfully.
