A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that. It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it." - Dr. Ben Carson

     Poverty is a temporary thing. If you want to become wealthy, it is up to you to change that. However, if you want to stay poor that is you decision as well. It can go either way, you can either be poor and become rich, or you can be rich and become poor. The decision that you make will affect you on either a negative or positive way. For example, if you decide that you are not going to try in school and be lazy, then of course you are not going to become something in life. On the other hand, if you turn the tables around and try really hard in school, your goals are set, and you accomplish your goals, then you will have the opportunity to become wealthy. However, the point of life is not to become wealthy, but to create memories, choose the right, help people, and to do good because when you die, all the money is going to stay. What is more important than money is family. Family is the most valuable thing in the world because that is the only thing that you will ever need.
