A Choice: poverty or prosperity

“I hated poverty is more like a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty).it depends upon how hard you work, and I decide that I would change it.”

Ruben Carson

 I think that he is right because I think that nothing is going to change if someone does not do anything to change it.
