“I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and i can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard i want to work, and i decide that I would change it.”

I feel that this statement is trying to say that you are who you want to be. Like if you're poor you can't change that until you fully understand why you are poor. For example, if you don't want to be poor you have to put in a lot of work. For instance, you want a good home and job and good everything right well there's a price to that. The knowledge you have is is something no one else can take from you. Your education is the key to have a successful life. Everything is possible if you choose the right.
