I am Poor.

It is clear that different countries do not have the same interpretation of the word POOR.

"It's even poor than rats,"as most people think.

But if you compare your life with others who say they are poor it does not match your beliefs.But if you do not have a home, education or clothes to wear, you really do belong to poor people.

Some of us and young people who grew up in poor families have low self-esteem. Others try to forget their problems and circumstances. As a result, they drink alcohol or try to use illegal drugs. And because of that habits,their problems get worse and become a poison in their lives. And the more you do it,it doesn't help you for to scape the poverty and reality.

Others may not be drinking alcohol or taking drugs, but losing hope in life.

But how do you get a positive outlook even when you are in a difficult situation and living a poor life?

Here are some of the things you should think about...

See the situation and things as positive.

  • One of the best things to do and think, is not the things you have but the things you have. A home and a happy family are more important than money.

  • The support of each other and a solid organization. See how good the thing you have is good. Whether it is small or simple. Home, clothes and food that are delicious that you really do not really need.

  • Learn to be content with life and think about how you can improve or grow your life.

Have respect,self-confidence and trust in your ability.

  • Trust in the ability and what you can do in life. You can also use your time to help others even when you are poor. It is one that can make you happy despite your problems and circumstances in life.

  • You also have hope for family and to other people because of what you do. And you know that others will respect you even if you are poor.

There is time for your success in the future.

  • Whether you are poor or you were born into a difficult life it is not too late for you. Maybe everything now depends on money, but you can endure work and hardship for your family and for your own future.

  • As you wait for the time to move towards good future, use all the good ability you have for your future development.

"Remember that you can cope with adversity and poverty as long as you put effort and hardwork and especially trust in God.'

I agree with you. We can overcome poverty with some good perspective in life. One person can be financially poor, but rich in family and relationships, harness that strength to improve your situation. Another can be mentally poor but rich in creativity and skill, use strength to prove otherwise. There is always something that will push us to greater heights, one day at a time, slowly but surely. Nothing is instant.

A lot of Filipinos are contented to be called poor, some judgement are coming from their selves. Some are just accepting the reality without doing anything for them to live a better life. We have this saying "Hindi kasalanang mabuhay ng mahirap, ang kasalanan ay ang mamatay ng mahirap." Cause when you are already born from a poor family, you already know what is the feeling living in it. You already know how hard it is. That is why you must feel motivated to do your best. To make a way to scape in that type of life. Stop depending on what other people can give you. Start to the dream from yourself, do a planning to achieve it. And of course pray for it. Do your best, God will do the rest.

You are poor if you don't have food on your plate, being sick and not being able to see a doctor, no education and not knowing how to read and write, you don't have any job at all, your homeless. I couldn't imagine if I'm on their shoes, so whenever I see people like that I try to give a small amount of money to them. Small amount but it's big help for them. Thanks for sharing! Good day!

Self-confidence is understanding that you trust your own judgment and abilities, and that you value yourself and feel worthy, regardless of your state.Been poor doesnt mean you wouldnt virsualize your dream, you just have to set your inner critics to win...most time been poor is from within, affirm to yourself you aren't poor.. be hardworking, be ready to learn new things, associate yourself with great minds...thanks

I remembered the saying that goes like "It is not bad that you are born poor. It will be if you die poor." So if we experience being poor, not only in monetary aspects but in various areas of our lives, we must strive and work hard in order for us to overcome them. Let's remember that God doesn't give us struggles that we can't win against.

I grew up poor so when I went away from college, everybody thought I was a complete cheapskate but I was just much better at managing my limited budget than they were. Put student loans in my hands and I could stretch them out like no one else in my friends' crew.

I cant really think wonder why society always degraded the poor people. Sometime its because of them why those they consider themselves poor lack self esteem. But its a blessing that those poor ones chose to strive harder to have a confortable life than to stay below. Your article is reaally nice to read especially to those people that loose their confidence because of the judgements of strangers. I hope this article reach out to everyone and be enlighten. 💜💜 Kudos to our bright author there A ❤️ for you

Your insight in this article were absolutely correct.It is not our fault if we were born poor,but its already our fault if we die still poor.As we live,there are many opportunities that may come into our way.We always have the chance to change our lives.We should not just be contented that we live,but rather persevere and grab all the opportunities that may help us to reach all the things that we want.Avoid complaining that we dont have the things that the rich person has.If we were be given the chance to finish our studies do it.It may be the key for our success.Dont just wait,but we need find the way for us to become successful and not to become forever poor.😊

Poverty is not hindrance to a personn with enough perseverance and determination in life. Let us always be a positive and cheerful. There's always a rainbow after the rain. We should also instill our mentality that being successful does not only mean that we have much money, properties. Being victorious means, you are happy and satisfied on what you have and have family and friends around you.

There’s a sense of blame around poor people, like they actually, actively choose this lifestyle. Nobody says “Hey! Let’s struggle to obtain even the most basic of needs!” People are poor for many reasons, and financial devastation can happen to anyone.

Well, as this line goes, "its not your fault if you are born poor, but if you die poor then it's your fault." There is some truth about this. But, sometimes being poor can be a mindset thing. The actual battle is in the mind, almost all bondage we have in the society is because of wrong choices, or wrong motives. That's why educating people is very important.

If we came from a poor family, do our own very best to make a step to become successful.
