“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

This statement means that you can change something if you don’t like it. It all depends on the work you are willing to put in it. If you don’t like something then don’t complain about it, do something. If you aren’t going to change what you don’t like then you might as well stop complaining. For example if you don’t like how you are being treated then you should talk to that person and tell them how you feel. Another example is that if you  don’t like your life like Ben Carson then you should work hard to give yourself and your family a better life. I don’t like the way my mom is always working hard and she has even gotten hurt just to give me what I need and for that reason I always try my hardest at school so I can get a good career and make sure that my mom doesn’t have to work anymore. You make your life whatever you want. You have the power to change your life if you are willing to, of course. Don’t sit back and let life pass you, do something out of life because you only have one life might as well make it the best.
