Some people are born rich. Some build their empire after a few years of working. Some people can not even earn enough to support their family no matter how hard they work. Have you ever thought why is it so? Why some poors are poor?

I think I object that some poor are poor because they are not working to get out of their situation. Here in the Philippines, sometimes, a person is being stuck on being poor because rich people does not want or give them opportunities to better themselves. Rich families usually like to marry their sons and daughters to rich people like themselves. Businessmen give work opportunities to new employees who also came from rich families. However that is, being poor doesn't mean being unhappy. So I guess it's just alright to be poor but give your best to get out of it and be happy while you are doing it. Eventually, God will give you luck if you deserve it.

Being poor financially is hard. Life is unfair when others are rich while most are poor. It's caused by personal and structural circumstances. Personal if you don't have the skills, the knowledge and the capacity whatsoever to access opportunities for financial gains. Structural means you are knowledgeable, have all the skills and knows your way around but somehow out there no one dares to hire you, your skills are not needed, there is discrimination and so on. And no matter how hard you work, you get less pay but prices are high and everything else you can't afford. So, you're still poor. And sometimes it's just not your lucky day if you be;ieve it that way.

Might be because they have a dream but not the determination to be rich.
