Topic: Poverty change people - page 2. (Read 1747 times)

To me I see this topic in two dimensions. Poverty can change people for good or for bad. A man can be seen in two way when he have money. A man that have money can either give a helping hand to the less privileged or live with proud and arrogancy at such never think of being of help to anyone. When a man with the heart of giving find himself to be poor in life due to one or two circumstances in life, at such beginning to show up some kind of activity like drinking without control, that he has not being doing before due to frustration such man have been changed badly by poverty.

Let's look at another instance of a man that have money but so rude, proud and arrogant and can not give a helping hand to people no matter the amount of money he have. People of this nature is always changed by poverty. Because at the moment they see they are no longer living large before. Even find it difficult to eat three times a day, they became humble. This type of people can see you and greet you ten times a day, mean while that have not been greeting you when the had money before. They will always want to go to any occasion in the neighborhood just for people to see them that they have and no longer the person they knew to be in the past. Poverty can change this kind of people for good. At least they became humble, respectful, loyal, extend greetings and lots more unlike before.

OgNasty I commend your positive thinking because you really know the concept of life, most of us one way or the other went through some unfortunate circumstances while growing up but glad today that we are able to live a good and healthy life, some people will choose to live an extravagant life when they are wealthy forgetting to know how they started. It only takes someone who understands the dynamics of life to know that a good life doesn't necessarily mean you will have to live a larvish lifestyle when you are wealthy, some people can even travel far away to even buy things that are lesser than their transportation fare just to get it from a luxury shop or a well decorated mall but life is far more than living an extravagant life as someone who is focused in life must cut some expenses no matter how much they own.

It is really true that poverty change people, because poverty is like a killer disease that change the personality of some one,it's affects the mindset of someone,the physical appearance,how can someone be in his or her thirties and look like sixty,that is poverty for you,
It also affects the
Mental health and intellectual part of a person,it also increase stress because a person that is poor will continue to think everyday, thinking of what to eat and do.
 
Poverty also affects someones feeling,creating room for   low self esteem and mediocrity can come in together on themselves

Lastly poverty makes a person lacks opportunity,yes because you are poor some certain opportunity will not be accessible to you because nobody knows you, nobody is connected or linked to you.Your association to good deeds and opportunities begins to depreciate.Your goals  becomes impossible to reach;indeed poverty changes people.

the thing that I will tell you is that poverty is your something that you change your mentality of a man who is for the thank you faculty always fall on my own understanding so what am I saying I am saying that the intellectual capacity of a poor man and the intellectual capacity of a rich man cannot function in the same frequency because the rich person is being relaxed or think why the poor person cannot be relaxed and think because of load and frustration that come across

Rightly said when people are successful then only people look at the successful and smiling faces and express sorrow and say oh why couldn't I be like him? But no one can see how much pain and suffering lies behind his success. So we should read biographies of famous people so that we can change our dream of success with little effort to succeed through hard work and develop morale to face all kinds of adverse situations. Only then will real change come among us.

That is why poverty is a disease to humanity, and people need to find the cure to eliminate poverty for people to begin to respect them as important people in the society, and those that have been looking down on them will know that they have find the solution to their problem.

But when you remain wealthy in the society, it hard for people to change from you because they are still experiencing the wealth from you, but the moment the wealth finish from you, they will change immediately because nothing to benefit from you again.

Poverty is a something that can bring shame to the family, because it will make people begin to look down on those poverty family because they will look ugly to people in the society, because no money to maintain their bodies, no money to put their children in a good school and it will be difficult for them to feed well.

When you talk about poor individuals you can't mention Bitcoin there because only the middle class and rich people get access to Bitcoin, when describing a poor individual i assume people who do not have money to feed themselves, so if feeding is difficult them even though Bitcoin have reduce drastically to a dollar not all of us can still afford.

I really agree with you saying a person can rise from poverty to riches, in this life the most difficult thing i ever experienced is getting money, so if someone want to live a better life then he have to stand up for himself to make way of surviving, when someone is poor we normally find it difficult to know the true colour of the person because they will look humble all the time, everyone understand their weaknesses that is why they find it easy to control them, that is how politician treats their people when it election time, they starve them so they can control them to do anything they ask them to do. Some people you are see as humble, happens when the are poor but test them with small money you will know them better.

Poverty is a serious barrier to somebody's life because it's rebrand somebody's mindset to something else and at that moment the person will actually become very vulnerable to be manipulated doing things that on there normal sense they never wish for and sometimes it could also lead to envy because that's why most of them was looking at you that way because they believe that since you have been able to travel out you have already become rich while they have nothing and funny enough one needs to be very careful because sometimes it could lead to something he never expected because we have seen movies were a situation like this will lead to unimaginable outcome.

Though those things are not common to most of the places especially were everyone is doing well either on there businesses or working place because they have what is generating money for them but the moment most people became idol for long they started envying the other people that's doing well, so perhaps that's why they said that an idol man is prone to be very vulnerable to be use or manipulated.

This is very true my brother, poverty have a way of really messing with someone's life that you as a person will start thinking  as if their is an evil spirit working against you, but that's not the case, it's just poverty,  during that time that I went back to my old neighborhood, I knew of some people that were very much vocal and confident, but due to how life has turned against them, they are actually less confident now, they are always lost in thought, like someone carrying a heavy burden in his or her heart.

And in my locality, their is a say that goes like this; a poor man's greetings are mistaken for begging, so because of that, they can't even feel free with someone that is doing well, so as not to be seen as a beggar, though I feel their pain actually, but I no longer feel  free around them, because of the grumpiness of their current nature.

One thing poverty does is that it makes people look down on you that is where the change comes from it first comes from people around us if they do respect you before maybe when you have money immediately you are poor they change and start been disrespectful.
Of a true poverty will make you look bad since you feeding fine due to lack of money you will change both physically and in your appearance. Poverty can also change one to look older than his age. We should always know that change is constant with hard work one can still pull out of poverty.

but i see it differently. i saw that they changed because of their environment and friends. why do i say that because i also grew up in a fairly poor family, where in the past even my family couldn't buy good side dishes for us to eat and our house was already rickety. but because of my strong persistence and belief that one day i can change my destiny, i am at this point. even though it's not successful, at least i have a small business that is running, and i don't feel that poverty changes me, but it pushes me to be better. even though people's conditions are different, i am sure that what makes people change is their environment and their friends.

A person is never born rich, because he can only reach the pinnacle of progress through hard work and labor. But especially the life stories of great people, if you observe them, you will certainly cry, because no matter how many people are successful, there is always sadness hidden behind them. From time to time we shall now look to great personalities, but men change at the time of death.  Successes and failures in life come to the fore.

I think growing up impoverished with parents that have good morals is the best possible upbringing a person could have.  I was raised on food stamps at a young age.  Most of my clothes were hand-me-downs.  I never had a fancy bike or ate brand name foods.  I know what it's like to live a summer without an air conditioner or have to sleep in a car.  The things I've had to do make me extremely appreciative of the things I get to do now.  It also leaves you based.  I could afford to fly to Italy for pasta if I wanted it for dinner tonight, but I'm going to eat a $1.79 taco instead and be happier.  Most people can't grasp this.

think that a person is influenced by many factors. And it's not just poverty. If we mean financial condition, then it corresponds to our internal reserve of strength. If we develop and work on ourselves, our internal reserve of strength will increase and our financial situation will change along with it. If we do not receive development, the material side of our lives will noticeably worsen. What kind of environment a person ends up in doesn’t really matter. The world changes because of man himself. If a personality degrades, he will be in a bad state and this funnel will drag him in even more.

A man may be poor, but that does not mean he will remain poor all his life. If so he has not taken any steps to alleviate poverty. If a poor person is afraid to take any decision then he is mentally lazy. If we notice, we will find that almost all of us were children of poor families. But they have succeeded today due to their tireless work and bravery. So you have to make the right decision in life you have to work tirelessly and to be persistent for success.

If you have experienced poverty before in your life, you will like to pull people out from poverty because it can make them to think negatively to commit some crimes that will bring insecurity into the society, but if you help them to over come poverty, it will change them positive.

Those that change from poverty to a better person, are those that believed that poverty can be change to wealth and they continue working towards it to create some good relationships that will favor them in the future.

It will be difficult to remove lazy people from poverty, because they prefer to remain in poverty with their mentality that they cannot change to wealthy people by seeking for the knowledge of decentralized currency, which some people are using to lift themselves from poverty in the society.

And if you check 100 poor people in the world today, 90 of them are actually lazy. Because it’s not about think of how you can’t afford material things and get motivated, actual work has to happen. You have to sweat it out. So in the end, we cab simply say that the way to avoid poverty is to not be lazy because it doesn’t matter your background. A poor person can be wealthy tomorrow and a wealthy person can be poor tomorrow.

Actually being poor a common man is afraid to take many types of decisions because there are financial matters. whereas poor people do not want to take decisions easily because less money. becomes a big burden for him many times. So I agree with you because the mindset of a poor person can change a lot of things. from thinking to decision making to personal life.

I totally agree with u, poverty has made some people look as if they are stupid in some things they do in life, like they way some people talk or think although they might not notice it and sometimes it changes their behaviour and can even contribute in underrating themselves because they think they are not worth it especially if they find themselves among friends who has already make it in life, so it makes them look as if they are not working hard to change their current situation that is to get rich but some are really working hard but the responsibility they have is making most of them to look like they have not been trying and it's true, as the breadwinner of the family, our young people look to us as their supportters as they expect more from us. But we shouldn't allow that to get to us by affecting our physical looks too, and with self confidence and self esteem and by also helping one another we can build stronger relationships that will lead to growth and success and hope for a bright future.

Exactly, there is nothing that is permanent in this life same as richness and poverty. People that grow from rich home are mostly not the richest men on earth, but people that struggle to earn the money knows its value and knows how to make them work for them. If you are poor today, you can be rich tomorrow provided you have something meaningful and important doing that can add value to lives of people.
