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 

What I think this quote is trying to say is that it's really up to you whether you want something in your life to change for good. Only you can decide whats best for you and if you will be willing to fight for your accomplishments.If theirs something in your life you don't like all you need to improve it is by always putting in your best effort and hard work to every flaw and obstacle in your decision.
