About This Quote

The first step to solving a problem is recognizing it. If you do not address the fact that someone is poor, no matter how much money you throw at them, they will never be able to overcome their circumstances. You cannot just give money to someone and expect it to change their mindset. They have to actually want help helping themselves. When you help them, you must be very firm with them because if they do not want help, there is nothing anyone can do for them.
