Being born poor is no one’s fault but their parents. However dying poor is entirely up yours.

Being poor in most cases is not the fault of the parents because you may not no what they have gone through in making sure they became successful in other to better the lives of there children, so firstly before judging in that regards we should also no that privileges that exist now was not there during there time of youth and in some places there only source of livelihood was through farming and there was no much better opportunities for them to go into other things, though there are parents that had better opportunities that would have possibly change there lives but they allow it to sleep through there hands but however I believe that if things were to be like this during there time majority of them would have been very successful because they were even more hardworking than this era, so perhaps since our parents was unable to provide us with all the necessary things at least we should  make an effort to make things different and create another chapter for ourselves.

The reason why some people’s keeps staying in the poverty is that, if we observe some  they where born in the poverty and anyone who grow from the poorly family are the most people that face a lot of difficult in life, because they just grow and find their self in the poverty till some peoples build them self by making their so better; and this kind poverty normally popular in the rural areas, their are lack of so many things like resources.

This life is all about destiny their some people’s that they risk their life just to become rich, and if avid has never ready with them it will never happen till end of their life; some people’s is through their daily hustle they eventually become rich.

What do you think is more important to have: resources or character?
Both of them are important. You need resources to start your path to riches but you need character to sustain your wealth. The reason why people in rural areas in my country are poor is because of a lack of resources. Refugees in camps have slight chances of becoming successful because they don't have access to necessary opportunities. There might be people with good character in all these underprivileged areas but they will continue to live in poverty because of lack of resources.

What do you think is more important to have: resources or character?
I think character has nothing or little to do with getting rich. I have seen rich people with rotten character and it didn't affect them and neither did it stop them from being rich. I am yet to acknowledge the place of character in getting rich. Maybe it can have a place in maintaining wealth but not in acquiring.

If you want to get out of poverty, learn many new skills and earn more, save and invest.
Acquiring wealth without character has its consequences. It might lead to some misbehaviours which can destroy the fortune of the person. The bad characters of of R. Kelly, Huw Edwards, and Adam Britton, led to their downfall. It is better to pursue and acquire both of them.

Are you in any way saying we have to blame the parents for being born poor or being born in a poor background? Because I don't seem to get it.

Quote
I got to thinking how come a lot of poor people stay in poverty while some manage to get out of it and make a good life. I boiled it down to two specific things: resources and character. If someone has at least a few resources, he can then try and make a living and try to expand his career furthermore. While someone with not much resources can still manage to find some if he is really determined, hardworking and willing. If you combine these two, surely you’ll get out of poverty.

But why is it that some even with the resources in front of them don’t still manage to make huge profit? Is it because of their character? Are they too lazy? Too comfortable? Not determined enough?

And why is it that some people with determination and perseverance still don’t manage to escape the shackles of poverty? Is it the lack of resources? If they were given resources, will they finally be successful?

Looking at the different people I have met, I try to figure out how and why they ended up the way they are. Are they rich because they have resources and a good character? Or are they rich because they only have good character? Are they poor because, despite the resources, they don’t have a good character?

What do you think is more important to have: resources or character?

No matter how your character is either good or bad if you are destined to be rich you will be. We have people who have good character but they are poor and we have people who have bad character and they are rich which ever way it goes. Some people don't have that luck of getting rich no matter how hard they hustle it will still end where they started. I don't think getting rich is like a button that you press and you become wealthy over night, this is how we are to be some get rich some get poor, haven't you seen a situation where a rich man eventually becomes poor and the poor becomes rich? Is like a switch and we don't need to blame anybody for being poor or brought up in a poor family or by a poor parents, that's life, there are things we can't fight against and poverty seem to be one of them.

You forgot the third thing: intelligence. Some people are just not smart enough. Just like there are people who are too naturally lazy, irresponsible and neurotic, there are people who are just too naturally dumb to hold high-paying jobs. It is uncomfortable to read, but it is a sad truth of our life, and a pain in the ass for both progressives and conservatives: for progressives because it refutes their environmentalist dogma, and for conservatives because it refutes their belief in hard work and dedication as a source of success.

Character (and intelligence) makes it more easy to obtain resources but not the other way around. People who suddenly won an astonishing amount of money in lotteries go broke way more often than people who earn the same amount of money in their business. How so? The people who own successful businesses do have character and intelligence to manage their money, and the people who win lotteries generally don't.

If you're a member of a group that possesses both character and intelligence, it is easy to gain resources to invest them to gain even more resources later. Ashkenazim Jews have been suffering persecutions everywhere in Europe yet they have always achieved high social and economic status despite being the №1 most hated ethnicity on the planet.

This may be due to their character because those who are very lazy do not do their work on time.  Or they can't be serious about anything.

Lack of resources, and those resources can be way more complex then you first would think. Where you get to born is a resource, your health is a resource, and sometimes that's something you can't fix by money. People you know can be your resources. Your intelligence is resource, and you can train it up only some levels. Your vision, height, parents, grandparents, air you breath, economic situation, healthcare, infrastructure of your country, education, the way your parents raised you or messed you up... Being in a right place at the right time. Your values, your energy and your luck

Those are all resources or lack of resources, depending what cards you have been given. Of course it's unhealthy to keep seeing as oneself as just a victim of circumstances and stop trying. And many people do try, not only to get out of poverty but to grow as persons. That itself is worth celebrating, not he outcome. And blaming people for being poor is just sociopathic thing to say. It's impossible for us to be emphatic enough to fully understand what others are going trough and all the situations they had to deal in their own way, just to stay alive.

Be a good sales person. Start a church, and talk the poor people around you into helping... for a cut, of course.

Cool

 Grin Grin This is what is happening in Africa continent. Poor people are enriching the richer pastors by following what their pastors are telling them about sowing a seed. It's very pathetic!

Op, do you really think character has a role to play in taking someone out of poverty? I doubt that. Resources may play a significant role but not sure of character. From your post, I noticed how you contradict between both scenarios and that's just the fact. In as much as certain individual actions influenced the class they belong between rich and poor, the bottom line is that it's a divine and not necessarily as a result of your efforts. And of course, you can not just be idle waiting....you must play your role too even if you are destined to be rich.

The duality between resources and character can be translated into environment and subjectiveness. Each of us is a complex fusion between both elements. We can't consider only one aspect and completely ignore the other. Everything you do affects your environment somehow, and everything happening in your environment affects your subjectiveness somehow. This process is constantly happening in real time.

It's up to you to work in order to balance this process in your favour, aiming homeostasis. If it's achieved, you will reach your goals, which in this case, consist in reaching financial freedom. There isn't a default recipe, though. The process is unique for each of us, and probably fluid. That means you have to constantly adapt yourself to the current demands reality present to you, through your subjectiveness or through the environment around you.

In conclusion, it's important to have both. It's essential to find balance between both.

Sometimes the only barrier preventing most of these persons who were born poor from breaking out of poverty is their mindsets. It is very common to see poor people with a limiting mindset. They have lived all their lives in their poor state in their poor community. They just believe that certain achievements are meant for the rich people. Even when opportunities are brought before them, they might not utilise that opportunity efficiently to give them a successful life. Only few poor people with positive mindsets are able to recognize opportunities when they see one and help themselves break out of their poor state. You cannot take a poor person with a limiting mindset out of poverty, they will still go back to their poor state which they feel comfortable in.

You can still have the good character or the resources and still find yourself hovering around poverty. Being out of poverty depends on the kind of clique of friends you have, how intelligent and exposed you are in learning new skills, the skills acquired, and leaving your comfort zone to a new place to hustle for the betterment of the future. Staying in your comfort zone for too long can make someone remain poor, or limit their financial growth. However, it is advised to link up with friends, learn new skills, be open to learning new things, invest in Bitcoin or real estate

In the World's system good character (not talking about fake good characters) doesn't matter at all. You can be rich with bad characters. No one in the world has good character, they are all bad but appearing good just like genetically modified foods look so good but are really not. Despite that, people still buy lots of them thereby making their producers rich, but that is not true riches since it is ill gotten money which the owners do not deserve, but have it anyway. Their riches are in negative because what they have do not belong to them. They are actually in debt as it's more like living on borrowed money which they will have to pay back else they are sent to prison, but not necessarily earthly one.
Now, those with actual good characters are not in the World's system. They produce good things and may not be making money off them, but they are rich in knowledge, wisdom and understanding which is very important factors that guarantee riches and its sustainance

I think character matters most than resource because even you have the resource without a good the can be misused but with a good and reliable information resource can be adequately utilized.

Personally I refuse to accept being poor as my fate because it might validate any wrong decision I make about my life.
Definitely you shouldn't think like that.

I'd say what I said above is for public, since that's the reality. We might not able to achieve our dreams if we're lack of basic needs, yeah there's a chance, but it's like only one person from 100K poor people achieve it.

For ourselves, we should keep in my mind if we should try until we die, even we didn't achieve it, but at least we wouldn't regret with what we do in our life.

They are too lazy and not want to change their life to better although they have enough resources. They are satisfy with what they have without want to change their life. They are hard to moves from their comfort zone into discomfort zone because if they work hard and smart, that means they will be on the discomfort zone.

If they can use their resources and have determination and perseverance and willing to work hard and smart, they will success to change their life. They can prevents the laziness and don't mind if they moves to the discomfort zone because they know that is need to change to better. They have dream to get better like other people so they will not give up when they meet a difficulty.

They consider the difficulty is a challenge for them to keep trying and reach they want. They should have character to build their minds to have a positive think so they can search for the resources around them. After that, they can decide what they want to do and use all of their ability to change their life.

Getting out of poverty is hard but possible, try to focus on education & skill development to improve job prospects. Create a budget to manage finances effectively & ruthlessly save. Seek employment opportunities, networking & mentorship. Try starting a side business to generate additional income. Access community resources & support programs for assistance. Stay motivated, set realistic goals & be persistent in overcoming challenges. Building a strong support system can provide encouragement & guidance along the way.
It is very important to acquire all these because it will definitely add good financial value. To be free from poverty one needs to be ready to grab opportunities by possessing not just education but different skills. Another factor that can be hindrance to be free from poverty is the environmental factors, it plays so much role in becoming rich or poor.

When you are in the right environment where their are good opportunities you don't need to struggle with your business or to get job. It is important for people to be very conscious if the environment is giving what they really want, if the environment is not playing that good role financially.

Did you believe in fate? If you believe in fate you will not think of saying some things that you are saying in this post, so you think that parents are the problem of someone being poor or born to be poor, sometimes we have to think before saying something because, being poor is not what someone prays to be and when you're destined to be the part you don't have anything to say or blame anybody for, parents are not to be blamed for someone being poor because we don't know what they go through and if to become rich is an easy thing no any parents will want to be poor.

For anyone to think that being poor is the parents' fault then why can't he or she also work hard to change the family background, is not easy to become a successful person in life that is why some people will try their best to work hard and make money but if they are not destined to have money or become rich in life they will never have it even if they went and do a ritual because of money they will never have if they are not destined to have it, so let us not blame anybody for being poor.

Getting rich is by fate and destiny and not by resources or character because a poor man can become rich for being educated and during his years in school, his friends and people around him that he mingled with might be the ones that will turn i life around in future. Education does not make anyone rich but it gives you more opportunities to become rich. Good character is very important for all because it brings respect and good name but that does not mean that if you don't have good character, you will never get rich. I have sen some folks who are rude and brag with their riches and they didn't get broke. Good financial management is important for one to maintain his wealth.

Being born in a poor family is a big challenging issue in the social system of this world, it is not unusual to blame the family for this. I think being born in a poor family is a curse, because a family that is exposed to any modernity or its members cannot get out of the grip of poverty even if they want to. I have seen many poor families who have made hard sacrifices to reach their goals or are neglected in all aspects of society because they are poor.

But it is also true that many, through hard perseverance and temperance of character, rise out of the extreme curse of poverty and become established. But it is a very small number, what is your opinion about it?
