A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity 

"I hated poverty.

Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, 

and i can change that (poverty).

it depends upon how hard 

i want to work,

and i decided that i would change it"

- Dr. Ben Carson

My opinion on this quote is that what ben carson has done is all in the past along with us whatever we do now of course is going to have an affect in the future but what we can do now in the present is only a matter of things to do, whether we work hard on everything to do, or just do half-assed work is up to us and what the future may bring who know if what we do now is good or bad ,aybe what we are doing can be bad then later on build up to good and have us realize our mistake yet one thing is for sure we cant always dwell in the past forever one day were going to have to let our parents hands go and choose for ourselves cause we grown up yeah no one want to grow up to what they have now, like video games always lounging around our parents and even sibling but some realize that letting go is another step to becoming independent and we have to say goodbye to the past and hello to the present and im here to the future but it doesnt hurt to visit once in a while cause we can never let it go its how we learned anyways so why stop now when there is alot to learn and to discover, why give up on your life when it gets hard, keep going cause there is still more challenges to be taken head on
