You are forgetting that people are born into poverty. It is not a conscious choice to be poor and it facilitates and conditions people into certain behaviors. A flower cannot grow in soil without nutrients. In this aspect, the flower is like the poor.

In some cases but you can't deny the fact that some choose to be what they have rather than what they want to become. To tell you, I live in a poor, messy, and outrageous family. I supported my own self in going to college with my family being in riot. My mother (single mom) used to be abused by her siblings so she can't support me.

I worked my ass off. Worked in dawn till noon and study afternoon till 9:30 in the evening. If you want it, you'll do something to make it happen. Poverty is never a hindrance to success.
