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

This quote means that is not a choice to be poor or not, but the big an great choice that we can take it be in the poverty because if we live in poverty we can appreciate, more the thing like materials that it around us or we can appreciate more our family and our education.
