Where you live dictates your life

[Egii Nna]

We have no choice in where we are born. Some are a little unfortunate to have been born in struggling countries while some lucky to have been in good countries but there are ways to get out of that place and choose somewhere else to stay. So when you are deciding where to move, what do you consider?

The job opportunities. There is a city in my country where it’s full of factories. Because of that almost every citizen in the city has a guaranteed job. Some people from other cities even go to that specific city just to work. So when you decide where to live, consider if it’s a center of commerce or production so you can find jobs.

You don’t necessarily need to leave your own country before you make it. All it takes is patience and planning, and you will be able to achieve what you are destined to get. That is why, in most cases, people are not supposed to be overwhelmed when they hear about a job opportunity in another location that they are not familiar with.

Let’s take your location as a case study. I don’t know the country you are in, but someone from another country may come to your location to get a job, and we know he may get it because of the higher demand for workers. However, other factors must be considered, such as whether the salary will be able to cover his shelter, feeding, clothing, and family needs.

People back home will also be requesting money from him because he is out of the country. At the end of the day, after proper assessment, you will see that the money he will be left with as savings will not be much when compared to what he could have saved in his own country if he had been patient.

That’s very true. Where you live quietly shapes almost everything in life. It affects your opportunities, education, income, safety, freedom, and even how you think about the future. The same talent or effort can lead to very different outcomes depending on location. Access to systems, rules, culture, and stability matters a lot. People often blame themselves for struggles that are actually structural. Place isn’t everything, but it sets the starting line and the limits you have to work within.
Fate is another factor. We must not forget about it. And i believe on that

The environment will indeed have a big influence on good or bad and even everything, the mindset that is formed can change and we can see the best for ourselves so that there are efforts that we can make to get out of that zone so that I will continue to make myself a reference in any matter and will not blame anything except ourselves because self-responsibility will still exist and we are responsible for everything we choose.

Your caption is too strong and if we use the word "dictates", then your post will appear wrong The right word in this case if "influence" because where you live or your environment influences your life to a great extent. Like the example you gave, people who live in places where there are lots of industries will find it easier to get job because they will know the skills needed and to fit in, not only that, there will be high demand for labor which will make the jobs available for them.

What truly "dictates" your life is regulation. In some countries, regulation is the main obstacle to creative people's freedom of movement; you can even be prevented from escaping it. Even if there are abundant job opportunities due to proximity to industrial areas, it can be hellish due to minimal worker protection. You can often find this in countries with a lot of construction projects.

Where you live can slow you down or give you a head start but it doesn’t get the final say.In today’s world, skills beat location.Where you live does influence your job opportunities,but it no longer defines your entire life or future.Normally,location matters a lot but that concept has changed.Remote work,freelancing,and digital skills have broken many location barriers, people have the opportunity to work with global companies from the comfort of their homes without even relocating.

So when you decide where to live, consider if it’s a center of commerce or production so you can find jobs.

We all want to live and someone who's starting in life won't choose to live in a peaceful area where there is no livelihood unless that person is fine to live modestly. But we know life is mostly about hustle and money and so, we'd go to the center of commerce where companies are making business. And these businesses are the ones hiring employees and that means money for someone who wants to have a good life. Living in the city is tough but it's where the opportunities are made and if someone is starting out there, you'll have to grab that if ever one knocks on your doorstep.

Activities of people are influenced at times by the environment we find ourselves which is why environmental factor is Among the factors responsible for defining a man except the person consigned is not willing to key in. For example, children born within a riverine areas who's primary occupation is fishing finds it difficult not to get fishing experience except he or she changes environment to a different one with different people and occupation.

The environment that you live, and also the people that we live with or the people that surrounded us shape almost every part of your daily existence. Our economy determines the kind of works that are actually available and how much they pay. Some economy doesn't have a good surviving job for the people, making life more hard and difficult for them. Their income is too low that it can't cover all their expenses, plus inflation that is occurring day by day. Making it hard for them to stabilise their lives and that of their loved ones, housing, transport and food become harder for them to afford. This kind of environment can affect health, the activities you enjoy doing, and even the air that they breathe in, leading to mental health issues, and it can also affect some people mentally, socially, emotionally, physically and psychologically.

Op this your theory is an old theory to apply and not a modernized pattern of choosing where to live. Technology has taken over the world, people are doing business online at the comfort of their home and they sell more than those who open shop. With the new technology in the world, I can work and make money from home town, and that doesn't need any city to complete my choice. All what I will need is good and strong internet and I will get a legit work from online.

You are right that the surrounding environment affects many things in people. But even after this, many people are seen to be successful with their own hard work and skills, which no one can do while living in a good environment. Now if you have skills, it is possible to do various types of work online. Many people have gone to developed countries with their skills and got job opportunities, but they did not grow up in a good environment. That is why although the environment and living conditions affect people, many times many people have gone beyond these and reached the peak of success.

True, in today’s world the internet sort of levels the playing field but networking, access to investors, home country laws, country’s reputation, all have a major impact on how you scale your business/career. You might have a million dollar idea but you can’t reach Silicon Valley from your home in Lagos.

This was entirely true before the internet, but in today's era, one can already steer their fate into a favourable situation as long as there is determination, perseverance, consistency, and of course properly utilizing the use of internet, even if you were born in a 3rd world country.
Though it's still true that the culture that we grew in still influences us, but it's not that hard to know the other culture as well these days, so, that gives people a better idea how to blend in.

I might say, it's not that where we were born dictates our life, because we all have the chances in the world to change that.

I live in a developing country, and finding work is incredibly difficult. For many reasons, I lack the skills and opportunities to move elsewhere. But despite my limitations, I won't give up. I will continue to fight for a decent life.
Because that's the only option I have, and maximizing the available options is the right choice, in my opinion.

These days, let alone living in a developing country, even in a small country, finding work is difficult enough. Lacking skills can certainly complicate our lives. Many say that mastering something within our area of ​​expertise can significantly simplify our lives.

The important thing in this regard is our enthusiasm to get started, so that our desired goals can be achieved, even if we live in a remote country or a country with many situations filled with various life dynamics. However, none of this is a problem because it all depends on our passion for starting.

Yes the environment that you live in can influence you positively or negatively depending on your family background, and you as an individual also have a role to play on exactly how you want your life to be and regardless of your limitations if you give up on yourself then that's the worst thing you can do to yourself. The world now especially the internet has created a lot of opportunities for us to almost choose our future and if you by any chance get access to a little education then nothing can stop you from reaching your goal if you are determined because technology gives us jobs and more online, and I don't live in a developed country but if I'm going to change my environment the first thing I have to consider is the security level of the next place I'm going and also I consider how nice the people are to foreigners.

Of course, the place of birth to some extent determines the future fate of a person. Well, at least a person can move to a place where living conditions are better and there is work, or to a place where there is no need to work at all, but you can live on benefits. But it is even more important to be born into the right family (a family of millionaires). Well, this is beyond the control of man, but it's a matter of chance or predestination, to whom it's more convenient to think.

In my view, our standard of living is largely determined by our social environment. If the people around us are successful and happy, the likelihood that we will become one of them is much higher than if we are surrounded by poor and unhappy people. Therefore, it is logical to assume that more successful and happier people consciously choose better places to live, while in older and less prosperous areas there often live those who do not have the opportunity to change their living conditions. From all this, it can be concluded that the place where you live has a strong influence, at least on the speed and ease with which you can become a successful person.

Yes this is true oo, where someone live have a great way of impacting his or her life, that is why there is a saying that if there are five wealthy persons around you, you are the 6th wealthy person.. Because there is a way their lifestyle and pattern of life would influence you..  So as the environment a person live, if he or she live where there are several opportunities and all, there is a way their life would be way more easier that someone living in a more economical constrained area..
But at the same time, i believe every body has the opportunity to change their living conditions... it all start with the mind regardless their environment, if they are disciplined enough to change their life, then they can...  it would be challenging though, but it is possible and it all starts with the mind..

Some are born lucky and some are unlucky, but the economic situation in a country determines the fate of a citizen. If you are born in a developed country, then you are automatically lucky, but not everyone is born in a developed country, meaning those born in poor countries have to struggle a lot. They want to live in a city where there are many job opportunities or they want to be set in a country where there are enough job opportunities. Therefore, citizens of a country choose a specific place to live, mainly based on job opportunities.

[Jatiluhung]

Where we live does have a big influence on our lives, especially in terms of economics. However, it does not determine what our lives will be like. We can strive, work hard, and work smart to become better in all aspects. Maturity is an important factor that can change circumstances or starting points. Being mature is not about how old we are. It is about becoming wiser in our thoughts and actions.

For example, when the environment we live in is filled with people who only work on plantations and the like, try to think differently from the ordinary people there. We must think differently and take advantage of the situation around us to our benefit. For example, if we live in a plantation village, we can become innovators by importing the plantation's produce to a place that accepts the harvest at a higher price. Or if other people sell their agricultural products raw, we can buy them and process them into something of higher value and then sell them to a wider market online or through other means.

The point is that our environment influences our way of thinking. And this is where the importance of broadening our horizons lies, so that we can think more broadly beyond the limitations of the people around us.

The job opportunities. That is what I will consider especially if I want to search for better work in other cities. It is normal if we want to have a better job and sometimes we don't think about where we live. The important thing is that we have a new job in other cities where we can get better salaries. We can consider where we live after we have a new job. That situation also applies to new students who want to study in other cities. They will make sure that they are accepted into that university then they will search for a boarding house for them.

[crwth]

Having the opportunity to choose and do what you want is definitely a blessing. If you can go to a place with numerous opportunities and good work, I think it would be beneficial. I also agree that where you live could somehow lead you down a path that is more aligned with your interests.
