What Else Besides Hard Work Is Needed to Overcome Poverty?

[Moseschidera]

This issue got me thinking deeper. While some say pulling yourself up by your bootstraps through hard work alone can beat poverty, I'm not sure it's that simple. Sure, dedication and effort are important. But what about those stuck in cycles for reasons beyond their control? And doesn't the system need to be fair for all that hard work to even matter?
Growing up in lack probably takes a permanent toll. The stress of daily struggle can overwhelm your capacity to focus on moving ahead. If basic survival is all you know, how do you see beyond it?

I'm curious what others think. Is there a role for community here beyond telling young people to simply try harder? How can we create a society where every person gets a fair chance through no fault of their own circumstances? What else do you think is needed, besides hard work alone, to overcome the challenges of living in poverty?

I think other than hard work, you need to manage your personal finance properly. Also, having proper education will enable someone to get a good job which helps him/her to get out of poverty.

YOU are right, I think the government should work into providing free education for those who are poor and can't afford the fees, in that way everybody gets equal treatment and maybe that can enlighten some and help them out of both physical and mental poverty.

Hard work is most important to overcome poverty and with that we also need to work smartly and set our goals and should invest because without investment we can't expect our future to be bright

Not having powerful enemies who hate you can help a person lead a normal life and make money. For the last 14 years, I find that powerful companies and government officials are blocking almost every payment, robbing orders so I am making very less money.

Aside to the hard work one needs God yo take them through to prevent the poverty

 

[Fidelia]

Smart work to me is even more important to succeed financially.

 

[Suba]

Even though hard work is needed to overcome poverty, we also have to think and choose hard work that can make more money. Apart from that, we have to change our mindset to live frugally, so that you can control all expenses, and the next stage is saving and investing.

 

[Hate2Wait]

I mostly see people that are not interested in saving money, face financial crisis as they are mostly into show off and just like to enjoy the present and don't think about future

It's not to work harder that's needed to smash out poverty but work smart. Living in poverty isn't a myth, it's pretty real but chances are there to elevate the financial situations by managing a business. Start small and let it grow big. About the capital, use some amount of your earnings so you can start right away.

 

[Trush Jodie]

Being financially intelligent and making right financial decisions is a big variable that can determine how and when one would leave poverty.

 

[Min George]

You would have to be very logical when taking financial decisions if you want to escape poverty. I believe that is more important than hardwork is.

Along with hard work fate has to support you. In India no community helps anyone so people have to keep struggling.

 

[Starmix]

Work smart, save at least some percentage of your earnings, let it grow and if it is good enough for a small business capital then start and make it big.

 

[eLdavis]

Hard work and proper management is key, then when prayer is included, I believe it takes things to the next level as well.

You can overcome poverty by acquiring a skill. There are government agencies that teach and train people to acquire skills and it is tuition -free. That is one way to gain advantage to learn something to elevate poverty.

 

[King Belieal]

You can overcome poverty by determination. That's because there would be obstacle on your march to overcome poverty.

 

[Kross]

Taking responsibility is also necessary for financial breakthrough besides hardwork. It makes you to take conscious steps to break free intentionally from poverty.

 

[Kera]

It is not even hardwork that would break you away from poverty. It is smart work that would help you overcome poverty.

You just have to be determined. be creative and take good life decisions don't forget to acknowledged God
