POVERTY IS NOT A HINDRANCE

-

ALONA V. PRADO

Hard work, positive thinking and such will enable one overcome poverty. Poverty is a form of success. Successful at being poverty bound is why so many people are successful at misunderst­anding why the situation still exists. There is no boundary to success because we are all successful at what we do.

If you want to be a successful hindrance to poverty, succeed at understand­ing how a change in the comprehens­ion of reality helps. Though a lower economic standard may hinder success do not fret. Celine Dion, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela were poor and so was our own Ramil Commendado­r, an ex-janitor, who dreamt of becoming a lawyer, now, he is, and even Manny Pacquiao, whose not known to anyone before, but now, aside from being a boxer ,he’s now a famous Senator. And today they are well known simply because they stood the test of time.

I remembered that people saying rich are getting richer and the poor poorer because the poor always give up, they do not like to work at all. Bone crushing poverty can make succeeding at most anything in life very difficult; see what happen to those who were put in jail? , Some simply used their situation as poor person, taking advantage of others, but there is one form of success that cannot be hindered by poverty and that is where happiness is concerned.

Many stories about people who were poor but worked and gave it their all, eventually they became successful. Their stories inspire us and give us hope that we can reach any goal and overcome any obstacle in life no matter how great it is. Many successful people do not fit the stereotype­s of the wealthy.

Remember that what you think today is what you get tomorrow. HARD WORK AND WE CAN DO IT. — oOo— The author is from Pampanga High School
