“ 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

I think this statement means that if you truly believe you can and have help from someone to push you to the limit you can achieve what you want. In order to achieve something you have to work hard for it no matter what. What is easy is hardly good and what is good is hardly easy. You can not let yourself be the victim. If you do not like something you say it or do something about it to fix it. Feeling sorry for yourself makes you weak and can at times influence the choice between choosing the right or choosing the wrong. Most of the times when you feel sorry for yourself you either lay around and whine about it or you have no energy to do anything when your life is going to flames. Instead of that work hard and work smart for what you want. Go to school, study and do the best and be the best person you can be.
