By rich, we mean having enough money so you never have to work for money again, if you do not what to.Winning money seems easy, but it really is not, and i

31、t often does not make you really rich. There are several ways to win money: betting or gambling, lotteries, and contests. Many couriers have lotteries in which it is possible to win enough money to bee rich, and many people have bee rich winning a lottery. But you would have to be very lucky to win

32、a lottery because so many other people are also trying to win and your chances are very small, often one in many million.Earning money is the hardest way to get rich because it means you have to work, and you usually have to work hard or be especially talented or lucky or both. People who work regul

33、ar jobs, such as ta*i drivers, do not get rich, even if they save all of their money. That is because they do not make enough money during their lifetimes to be able to save enough. They may have more money than their friends and co-workers, but they are not really rich.A few rich men and women have

34、 earned their money, usually by investing something unusual or popular or by taking chances and being lucky. Sam Walton is one of the richest men in the United States.

35、stores that sold ine*pensive items, and he quickly e*panded them into national chain of store called Wal-Mart. Most of the really rich people in the world have inherited some or all of their money. Over one third of the richest people in the United States inherited their money from their parents or

36、their spouses. Other rich people are rich because of a bination of inheriting money and earning it. Some heads of government are rich because their countries and families are rich and they have used their money and their position to make more money.Among the four ways to get rich, which one is the h

44、nued working at least a year after theyd won.Atlanta native Stephen Belcher started driving a cab 14 years ago.

45、s. When Atlanta started a Ta*i Advisory mittee as a liaison between drivers and city officials, Belcher was elected chairman. There, his efforts to improve driver professionalism got him noticed once again. He now sits on the board of directors of Atlantas Visitors and Convention Bureau and is presi

46、dent of the citys Ta*icab Industry Association. And he still drives a cab full time.
