There are no better masters than poverty and wants.

Summary

This quote suggests that experiencing poverty and facing desires can teach valuable life lessons. Poverty forces individuals to be resourceful, resilient, and innovative in finding ways to meet their basic needs. It teaches the true value of money and the importance of managing it wisely. Wants, on the other hand, highlight the dissatisfaction and insatiable nature of human desires. Through these experiences, individuals are compelled to learn self-discipline, prioritize needs over wants, and find contentment in the simple things in life. Poverty and wants can serve as powerful teachers, shaping individuals into stronger and more humble individuals.
