We mustn't allow background of poverty to define our lives This editorial note is dedicated to those who are on the brink of collapse and have given up on themselves due to their past failures.

Reality is that the past will always show up no matter how much progress you think you have

made.

I know that yours was a childhood infested with poverty. It is not a secret that yours was a slice of bread without butter. I am aware that yours was a mat you called a bed.

I was told that yours was black tea with no milk. I heard that yours was a journey destined to be a failure. But here you are today, still alive and kicking.

You may not be having it all. You may not be where you want to be. But aren’t you grateful that you still have a chance to change it all? Yes, we are from rough background­s. But inside our heads are brains and not rough background­s.

Let’s get the world to dance to our music despite not having it all. We can conquer this!val.

Be the champion of your life.

Your views are always welcome
