Why You Must Become Rich Even in Worst Economic Condition

? The rich rules over the poor: - The poor man borrows money in recession and out of recession to keep soul and body together. In his penury, he misses opportunities that can give him the leverage to ride to financial freedom. The poor man borrows from the rich to survive in sickness and in health, this way he become the servant of the rich with time. The Holy Scripture captured this in Proverbs 22:7 "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender".

? The Destruction of the poor is his poverty: - Nothing destroys like poverty under the high heavens. The worst disease of all time is poverty of rich ideas. If you lack ideas, then, you surely will lack ideal friends, creativity and definite allocation of the earth riches. The poverty of the poor is the cancer of all answers of the 21st century. The rich stays in business to either help the poor get out of poverty or help keep him perpetually in poverty. You have no choice to dictate the tune of the piper as you cannot to afford pay for his services. The bible captured this subtlety also in Proverbs 10 vs. 22. "The rich man wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty".

? The poor is hated even of his friends: - No money no friend! Money is the oil that lubricates the axle of friendship and gives it a desired meaning as well as beaming to keep in place for life. Rich man has financial independence to make choice of friends to move with, and to make choice of where to go to and as well as how to be seen any time. The poor man has no definite standard. He has no friend at all, except hungry poor folks like him. The friends of poor man usually hate him with passion and are always on the run whenever he shows up. But the friends of the rich man are very proud of him and make it duty to seek for him and make it duty to seek for him and stay with him always.

The Holy Scripture captured this reality in Proverbs 14 vs. 20: "The poor is hated even of his by neighbor, but the rich have many friends".

? Wealth is a source of power: Nothing empowers like wealth in the hands of a rich mind. Wealth gives you many strategic advantages over others on daily basis. Wealth can be a source of inspiration to the mind and to the man who believe he has a mission to attain on earth. You gain a profound speed in the race of life if you can access the cornucopia of wealth of the cosmos. Speed is naturally not a function of activity but a direct result of productivity. With wealth of resources you can become a source to your generation.

? Wealth is the antidote to miserable poverty: - The greatest rank of poverty is the one miserably-personified. This happens when a man lacks both the wits and will to become productive despite seeming options available to him. Then it can be describe as a miserable poverty. Ordinary, a rich man is the one whose consistent trial or efforts has not yielded anything to make him sure enough to have complete square meal daily. But he never gives it up in the face of seeming opportunity on his way. Like Thomas Edison, the rich man continue to try until he gets desired result and duplicated if over time to stay rich even in the face of worst economic recession

Mendocino College braces for the worst, hopes for the best

Newly elected California Gov. Jerry Brown proposed $1.4 billion in budget cuts for higher education last week, sending ripples of fear through the University of California, California State University and California Community College systems.

While Mendocino College President Kathy Lehner says she's worried about potential cuts, she insists that students who want to come to Mendocino College will find the doors open.

The UC and CSU systems will both face $500 million in cuts to their budgets while California community colleges like Mendocino College would be cut by $400 million. This constitutes a 6.8 percent budget reduction for the community colleges that could possibly affect up to 350,000 students who may be turned away from attending classes, according to Jack Scott, California's community college chancellor.

Brown also wants the cost per unit at the community college level increased from $26 to $36. The $10 generated per unit would be used to pay for Brown's growth plan, which provides the possibility for colleges to get more money if they increase the number of full-time students by 1.9 percent from the previous year.

Tuition paid by students goes directly to state coffers, and community colleges are allotted $4,565 per full-time student from the state.

Brown's budget dangles the carrot of extra funding through the $10 tuition increase for colleges that grow their full-time student attendance. For Mendocino College, this would mean an increase of

about 60 full-time students. The college currently has about 5,000 students, 3,000 of them enrolled full time.

Brown's emphasis for student programs at community colleges is courses that transfer to higher education, courses that provide job training, or courses that teach basic skills and limiting recreational classes. He also emphasizes the need to increase the number of math, science and biology classes.

While Brown's budget may sound draconian, the Mendocino College administration anticipated cutbacks and planned ahead.

"We saw it coming," said Lehner. "We've done a lot of work in the last two to three years."

In an effort to mitigate possible upcoming budget cuts, Mendocino College began leaving vacant personnel positions unfilled to avoid future layoffs. Currently, the college has 18 vacant positions that will not be filled.

Lehner praised the community college's faculty for agreeing to a 4 percent pay cut to take place over an 18-month period and the classified and administrative staff for taking 10 furlough days.

"Our employees have been very understanding so far and we're asking them to do more, although I don't know how long we can expect their patience." said college Vice President Larry Perryman.

Despite 83 percent of the college's budget going to pay for wages, MC will not be laying off any personnel or teachers, according to Perryman. Instead of eliminating employees, some positions will be consolidated, transferred, become part time or have decreased hours of work.

"We have fewer people working less hours," said Lehner. "MC is very lean and operating efficiently."

She foresees no problems for students coming to Mendocino College next year should Brown's budget be adopted, but warns that classes will fill up sooner and student schedules may be less flexible. "Students may not get the classes they want at the time the want, but classes will be available," Lehner said, adding "We also provide priority registration to returning students."

Many students who attend community college do so with scholarship funds or a fee waiver coming from either the state or federal governments. That will continue, says Lehner, so that proposed fee hikes should not prohibit needy students from attending.

While art, music, theater and physical education may see a drop in classes offered, Perryman says the MC sports program isn't scheduled to receive any cuts as analysis shows the programs pay for themselves. "Athletes are mostly full time so they generate revenue," said Perryman.

The solar field installed in November of 2009 has also helped cushion Brown's economic blow by offsetting energy costs. Perryman estimates the panels have saved MC more than $300,000 since installation.
