More From Daniel Gilbert

Let us look at wealth and poverty. the affluent society and the deprived society inter-are. the wealth of one society is made of the poverty of the other. "this is like this, because that is like that." wealth is made of non-wealth elements, and poverty is made by non-poverty elements. [...] so we must be careful not to imprison ourselves in concepts. the truth is that everything contains everything else. we cannot just be, we can only inter-be. we are responsible fo everything that happens around us.
Looks Elements Poverty
It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. but wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. there must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.
Exercise Men Giving
The two roads that lead to poverty and riches travel in opposite directions. if you want riches, you must refuse to accept any circumstance that leads to poverty. (the word riches is here used in its broadest sense, meaning financial, spiritual, mental, and material estates).
Spiritual Opposites Two
Wishing will not bring riches. but desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.
Mean Persistence Mind
If at great things thou would'st arrive, get riches first, get wealth, and treasure heap, not difficult, if thou hearken to me; riches are mine, fortune is in my hand, they whom i favor thrive in wealth amain, while virtue, valor, wisdom, sit in want.
Ambition Hands Treasure
If exclusive privileges were not granted, and if the financial system would not tend to concentrate wealth, there would be few great fortunes and no quick wealth. when the means of growing rich is divided between a greater number of citizens, wealth will also be more evenly distributed; extreme poverty and extreme wealth would be also rare.
Mean Numbers Would Be

Fun Memorable Mean
The "ways & means committee" is a committee that's supposed to find the ways to divide up the means.
Mean Politics Way
If everybody can author their own story, if media is democratizing because everybody can make a really good-looking website... that's the way we learn now instead of in books. it means that more people get to tell their own story in their own terms rather than having to go through publishers and editors and executives.
Book Mean Media
You and i must not complain if our plans break down if we have done our part. that probably means that the plans of one who knows more than we do have succeeded.
