“I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice that 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.”

Ben carson has lived through a lot and was once poor in his childhood. He learned how to work hard to go up and succeed in life and all thanks to his mother making him read a book. He is giving advice to not slack off and if you do it’s your choice because you were the one who made that decision. Everyone is responsible for their actions and choices. You decide to work hard to change you position, current state and you can change that if you apply yourself in education and working and you know you did that fair and square because you started at the bottom and pulled yourself to the top. Their might be people in a situation worst than you and wished that they have what you have and you don’t even appreciate it, and you should make the most of it. You can change your destiny all you need to do is apply yourself to what you need to and try very hard to improve your life and thank your parents for the sacrifice they are making in order for you to have a great education.
