The statement above would be FALSE. Though not all, there are some people who are naturally born with capabilities to lead and other certain activities, but this does not mean that these capabilities won't change. Change may mean improve or not, depending on the exposure of the person. If the person has been exposed in activities about leadership, then the skills he or she has would change in an improved way.
Lack of education, bad choices, like doing drugs and under-employment/unemployment are the three main factors of poverty in the U.S. I think because of low-wage jobs and lack of education/not being able to pay for university people make bad choices or believe the choices they made were the only way for them to survive, make a living, get through their situation, or escape from it.
Jesus told the the parables about the lost sleep.
"So Janie waited a bloom time, and a green time and an orange time. But when the pollen again guilded the sun and sifted down on the world she began to stand around the gate and expect things. What things? She didn't know exactly...The familiar people and things had failed her so she hung over the gate and looked up the road towards way off. She knew now that marriage did not make love. Janie's first dream was dead, so she became a woman".
This has been my favorite quote because it is simply wonderful. The image of pear blossoms reminds me of the innocence that youth brings. The idea of becoming a woman because her dream has been destroyed is such a complex idea. Much like the pear blossoms and their pollen, Janie has to learn to go with the wind, role with the punches. When the pollen is dispersed through the air, Janie knows that time has run out for love and that she must grow up.
