POVERY IS NOT A HINDRANCE TO SUCCESS

RONIE M. FRANCISCO

I know you already heard this phrase over and over again. But we can’t deny the fact that
it is true. Success is not impossible if you strive hard to finish school. Years of hard work will be
worth it once you become a professional and get a job.

At an early age, there are some students who need to sacrifice their studies to get work
and help their family to survive. They are earning a little amount of money but they endured it
just to provide the needs of their family. Later on, they felt contentment in earning some money
and what they have become and already abandoned their dreams.

But there are those who are very persistent that they won't let poverty hinder their
success. These students are worthy of emulation, as they believed that poverty is not a hindrance
to their life's aspirations. Their unwavering spirits are very determined to reach their goals
whatever happens. Instead, they find solution to the problem by working hard.

There is a saying that "No Guts, No Glory". In dealing with poverty, you have to take
risks. If you have the guts, you can do what you want to. You can really gain glory if you will
take risks. Go against the current and beat the odds. If you will not move, nothing will
happen. Don't be too lazy.

If you want to progress strive for more. Start making a progression on your own
self. Don't settle for good rather go for the better and if possible, for the best. But despite of
striving for more, be contented. Never ask for something which you don't have if you are
already hurting others' feelings. Always remember that if you have the freedom, there are also
limitations. Never invade others rights. You must always mind not only your own feelings, but
also others.

Your education is the most important thing to be successful. It is the key to ones'
achievement in their dreams. It will be the nicest gift for your own, especially when you worked
hard for it. So, never let anyone, or anything stop you in achieving such things. Grab each
opportunity that comes your way, if you think it would help you. This is the only thing that
would change your life.

Nothing is impossible in this vast world. Even if there are problems that would come
your way, you can still beat them and be successful. Always remember that poverty will never
become a hindrance to success, if you want it. Be determined and work hard. With sheer
determination and hard work, we could defeat poverty.
