Please don't get me wrong, this is by no means empty talk, and I'm not saying this to comfort you. You must have heard that "money can't buy poverty when you are young" and "there are fewer tattooed men since ancient times"! Really, many things have two sides. If you are poor, change it. Poverty at a young age can often inspire a person to keep forging ahead, because only through tenacious struggle can you change the situation of poverty. Poverty is a catalyst to stimulate a person's sense of competition. Song Lian, a great scholar in Ming Dynasty, was a poor son. When I was a child, my family was poor and I couldn't afford to buy books. He often borrows books from people who have them, and copies them quickly after borrowing them for fear of missing the date of returning them. Sometimes the weather is cold, and the water in the inkstone pool is frozen hard, so his fingers can't bend and straighten. Nevertheless, he refused to relax. It is the diligence that ordinary people can't do that makes him a famous writer.

Not only in Song Lian, ancient and modern China and foreign countries, most people who have achieved great things were born in poverty. Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister in the Song Dynasty, lost his father at the age of two, and couldn't even eat thicker porridge when he was young. Gorky, a great writer in the former Soviet Union, was born in poverty and used to be a waif. Van Gogh, a Dutch painter, is penniless and often relies on his younger brother for help in his life. ..... On the contrary, you live in a wealthy family, and your parents have created a comfortable nest for you since childhood. If you don't work hard, superior conditions will kill your wings.

Look around us again. Many people who are academically gifted are often poor. Why? Because they know how to cherish and know that only by their own efforts can they get rid of poverty and improve their living conditions. Can we say that poverty made them? Poverty has become a valuable asset during their growth!

Poverty can also temper you, let you appreciate the world more truly, let you know the true meaning of life, and thus improve your living ability. Can you say that poverty is not wealth?

I don't mean to praise poverty against my will. I just think that you should understand poverty comprehensively and correctly, get out of the shadow of depression and treat life with a positive and healthy mood.
