Why are some countries poor??

On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, it is found that the great majority of developed countries follow the following principles in their lives:

1. Ethics, as a basic principle

2. Upholding Human Values

3. Integrity

4. Responsibility

5. Respect to the laws & rules

6. Respect to the rights of other citizens

7. Work loving

8. Strive for saving & investment

9. Will of super action

10. Punctuality

Studies revealed that in poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life. They are not poor because they lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to them. They are poor because they lack attitude. They lack the will to comply with and teach the above functional principles.
