I didn't make it very far into this article, but the writer is very biased and probably had a bad personal experience affect him and this "bad things only happen to people with bad thought" pisses him off. True, you can't will yourself against cancer, a natural disaster, or a ton of other things, but there are millions of poor Americans that end up in poverty situations because of their mentality. There are plenty of white trash kids that make their mind up at an early age that they will spend thier life living pay check to pay check at a dead end job and getting drunk on their days off. There are plenty of black inner city kids that give up and accept the fact that they will be poor ghetto trash their entire life.
You can't will yourself a million dollars, but coming from a lower income family I can guarantee you that you can will yourself a better life, and with proper decision and a good work ethic you don't have to give up and settle for a crappy life of being poor.
