There are people who claim that they are always trying to
make ends meet. They seem to have a great straggle to meet
their obligations. Have you listened to their conversation? In many instances their conversation runs along this vein.
They are constantly condemning those who have succeeded in
life and who have raised their heads above the crowd. Perhaps
they are saying, “Oh, that fellow has a racket; he is ruthless;
he is a crook.” This is why they lack; they are condemning the
thing they desire and want The reason they speak critically of
their more prosperous associates is because they are envious
and covetous of the others prosperity. The quickest way to
cause wealth to take wings and fly away is to criticize and
condemn others who have more wealth than you.
