If you don't hate poverty by working hard to eradicate it in your system and life, poverty will deal with your destiny.
The secret to overcoming it, is to have what people and society need, this will help you to eradicate lack in your life even without knowing.
I know of a rich man in my country who hate the poor, but the truth is the poor cannot finished in a society where a brother don't learn how to sacrifice for his fellows brothers to live.
I am not saying that am poor, and let me enlighten you more that poverty first must start from the mind realm where we are unable to think widely in creating solutions to our common problems.
I change my mind long ago when i trusted a certain rich man to pay my house rent. but it was not turning out as expected and i know the shame i received from not being able to pay my landlord on the stipulated time i promise him.
So i device means that day and made promise to myself that i will not trust any man nor beg any mortal for help. and since then what I promise myself is working for me.
FACT TO ADMIT
It takes a rich man who understand his true purpose of his blessing to give out helping or lending hands to who don't have.
