Many people believe that poverty is not a choice but I strongly believe that it is. The majority who believe that it’s not a choice are the people who find themselves in the tracks of poverty.
There are so many opportunities that can change people’s living standards. Some people think if they don’t make it in school then they will automatically live in poverty forever.
In life, we are not equally talented. We are however like fingers on our hands. The middle finger is not similar to the index finger so don’t expect to be like everyone you see.
Use the little you have to make the best out of life.
The little knowledge you have to make up something that will enable you to earn a living.
Don’t make poverty a choice, wake up from your dreams and do something productive. Don’t expect to spend the whole day in bed and find a plate of food on the table.
Nothing is guaranteed. Laziness can also lead to poverty, so choose not to be lazy so that you can be on the safe side of a better life.
