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

This quote is telling you to fulfill anything you set you mind to. Always try to achieve any goal you have in mind, never step back always be on the right track. Strive for what you want and dont back out. Ben believed that he could take the semi twins heads off, so he tried and didnt give up. He strived for greatness didnt give up , why? because he knew he was capable of it.
