Poverty or prosperity?

" I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and i can change that poverty. It depends on how hard i want to work, and in decided that i would change it."

 What this quote means to me is that in order to get what you want you have to work hard for it. You cant just say you want something and expect for it to appear out of nowhere. You have to spend time on what you want and keep doing it, without giving up. If you give up you wont get anything out of it. The decision of whether you give up or not is yours. It not your moms decision or your dads and it definitely inst your friends decision. Its your decision. Only you can decide what you want to do. If you want to be the top student in your class, you can. You just have to work hard towards it. Hard work pays of.
