3 POVERTY FACTS

The three poverty facts include
1. Procrastination
2. Laziness
3. Lack of information
PROCRASTINATION
According to Oxford Dictionary, Procrastination is the act of delaying something that you should do because you do not want to do it.
Many times we plan to do something the next minute we cancel or postponed it not because of inconveniences, but because we don't feel like doing it as planned.
For me, procrastination is evil, the reason of which I used "evil" in my statement above, is to describe how bad it is to procrastinate. The more we procrastinate the more complex our problems will become.
An illustration;
There was a mechanic who had to work on two vehicles on a faithful day, the owners where supposed to come the next day for their vehicles, unfortunately for him a friend of his visited him at his workshop, he had to abandone the vehicles, having in mind that he will come to the workshop early in the morning the next day to finish the work, he went out with his friend to have a few drink. The following day he didn't wake up on time as planned, he had to rush to his workshop, getting to his workshop he met the owners of the vehicles whom had been waiting for like 2hrs before he arrived, at the spot three extra vehicles were parked outside waiting to be repaired, now he have five vehicles to work on, 15mins later another vehicle drove in, and left instantly that is how he lost his customers that unfaithful day.
LAZINESS
There is this adage, "no food for a lazy man". You do not wan't to work but you wan't to be rich, buy a flashy car, own a house, be respected, I tell you are only day dreaming. You don't wan't people to laugh at the nature of your job, but they are calling you a lazy man. Are there legal jobs that you discriminate? I my self I used to discriminate driving a cab, not untill I met one cab driver and asked him how much he makes, I was suprised to hear how much he makes on a daily basis, in fact he makes twice the monthly salary of most civil servants in Nigeria( at the time of this post ).
Those jobs you discriminate could be much better than the one you dream of. A bird at hand it worth two in the forest.
LACK OF INFORMATION
The world is a global world, a world where information and technology rules. If you are not informed then you are deformed. Money could not be far from you.
A young man was desperate to make cool money without doing those illegal things some people do to get money. He heard about a seminar on the radio, the seminar was all about making money online with the attendance fee of 20 dollars equivalent. He attended the seminar and his life was changed just for $20, now he do organise seminars which puts a reasonable amount of money to his bank account.
What do you know that others don't. That could be a good start for you, the world needs information. Gather much information as you can, then poverty will be miles away from you.

Procrastinating does indeed cause more problems further down the line, pushing back tasks that could of been started if you had stuck to schedule.
