I remember a lot of moments that made me think it's not just the money that makes everything easy but sometimes you can get out of troubles when you've influence and power.
We've seen celebrities having so much influence and than leaders with so much power in their hands like nuke codes, budget etc.
This is what Real Influence Gets you in Life
I saw people using their power or influence to do them favours and escape from the terrible situations easily without getting effected by the consequences.
Some people say money is the only thing that gets people influence or power but this isn't true because when I went to my hometown I saw what it's like having influence in the society.
The real influence was like you're walking on a street and than you go to buy something from the shop and person just knows who's your grandparents are and because I'm their family member they gonna offer discount or will even say to not pay.
It happens because they want to show you they respect you for not because who you are but because they know your grandparents who spent years in that hometown and have made a name for themselves.
Years later they still know about my grandpa
Every once in a while when I came across someone new and tell them about my grandparents.. they're like so you're grandson of this person. Oh I know him and he used to be a great person

And than telling about all those qualities they had which is the only reason they have influence in my hometown till date even though he's not anymore in this world.
The fact that he wasn't rich did opened my eyes that influence doesn't come with the money. It comes with your own personality and way of living.
Some people have influence because of their personality
Money doesn't matter as long as you've a great personality and when you have good qualities than sitting amongst people or group you'll do better and have influence easily.

It takes people years to build a influence just like wealth and in reality influence doesn't have anything to do with luck like your video went viral and now your influence is on the sky on internet, it doesn't work like that in real life.
People actually makes good relations with neighbours and town for years and eventually they get enough power that Everytime when someone is in trouble or there's a dispute they'll call you for advice and make things better.
Wrapping Up...
So there's a lot of people who don't have money or wealth but they do have power and influence which is an asset for these people earned by being honest and doing the right things in the life.
Everyone wants power and influence but there's only one way to get it and it's by earning it over the years. I hope you do agree with it and would love to know what you think about it in the comments.

Truly, influence can be gotten without wealth. However, money and power is still the fastest lane to garnering influence. Your grandpa was influential because he was kindhearted. Imagine how wide-reaching his influence would've been if he was wealthy and powerful coupled with his kindheartedness.
Indeed, that's why I said it all correlates with money but it's not necessarily money everytime.
