   "I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than 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."

  

i believe that what Dr.Ben Carson is saying is that the only person who is able to take you out of poverty is you, and all it needs is hard work and not giving up, By doing whats right and not getting distracted from you future goals you are going to achieve them little by little, it's your choice to either live in poverty or wealthy,
