Poverty can be changed. But, once you're in mental poverty, you can hardly make a change.
What characteristics do those who have poor mind possess?
If you're in a state of impoverished mind, the first respone that you have when encountering difficulties is not "What I need to do to overcome it", but "Forget it, I can't do that." It seems that those who act like the former like to explore and maybe don't make success. However, you could have a chance to make it after trying many times.
Those who are mental poverty usually have lower self-expectation.
When you have poor mind, you cannot think about things with great vision, which is not about intellectuality, instead they have less time and energy to consider their future, only focusing on the current.
Poor mind makes us only think about what to do today; we cannot put it in our mind about tomorrow.
Deferred gratification is the ability to resist the temptation for an immediate reward and wait for a later reward, which presents a relatively strong self-control. Possessing the ability is the necessary ability to finish a task, coordinate with each other, and adapt to the society individually.
Those who are mental poverty cannot control their desire, which leads to their short-sighted choices for pleasing themselves.
Poverty is not terrible and it's just temporary. Don't let your mental poverty, or you could live unsuccessfully in your whole life.
