A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

“I hated poverty.

Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

Dr. Ben Carson

 I believe what Carson says is true because if you were born poor or became poor you yourself can change that. It is a matter of how much you want it and how much you are willing to get out of poverty. No one can stop you from that you can work hard and try hard and you shall earn what you have been working for all this time.
