People's lives must be prosperous and happy to be able to create a country with a strong and developed economy. That clearly shows that the government and the people are closely connected, so the people and the government need to act together and help each other. Otherwise, poverty will never be solved.
Each of us is free if what we will feel and to be happy is better than being sad but some people chooses to be sad. I guess it's because they don't do an action to fix what's bothering them about their life. Maybe this truly has an impact to the development of a country but government plays a big role here too. This is mainly their duty or this is where they are assigned with.
We do know that we are the ones who do make out our own future on which they might be able to supply or give something but in the end you are the ones who would really be making out such action for the better.
If you do find yourself that on a tough situation then it would be best that you should really that know on what you should gonna do. Start working hard and make out some additional income source as much as possible
until you would be finding yourself that involving with some business and expand as much as you could until you would be able to hit up that pinnacle of success.
