Thank You, Poverty

The author was just like many children who grew up with nothing and felt that the world was against them.

Hearing hurtful words like: “You will be nothing in life” made him realise how cruel the world could be. But in response, he kept these powerful words in mind:

HOPE
DETERMINATION
A WILL TO SUCCEED

Life does not owe you an apology for being poor, undermined and being a nobody. It is your willingness to change your negative situation into a positive one that will change your life. Being born poor is not your mistake, but dying poor is your mistake, because you have failed to take responsibility for your own life.

Every book has a cover, but what is a lot more important is the message written inside. Likewise, one’s outward appearance and circumstances, does not define the real person. Rather, it is the inner part that defines the real value of a person hidden inside.
