Where you live dictates your life

[Lida93]

I agree with you to some extent, surely our environment can influence us most times. But this is not basically for everyone but for those that would want to be influenced, because I have seen a lot of people progressing but looking at the background they came from you won't even believe they would grow to that extent. So it's more about decision if you feel that the environment you're coming from is not conducive for you of course you can get up to make a move this way you would never remain the same.

It's my belief in this life that people choose to be easily influenced by other people and their environment, and it's not what to be debated on because this is true. There have being people who rose to unbelievable heights despite growing up all their life in the shanties and less privileged marked environments in the society. It's about mindset and ambition. That's what differentiate people in this life, so if you decide not to be influenced by worthless things and people who doesn't serve your purpose then you definitely wouldn't be influenced.

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.

That is true, I think family background can also have a major influence, and one’s place of residence naturally shapes the opportunities available. Some people have to work much harder to gain better opportunities, often needing to relocate or move away from home. IIn my neighborhood, many people especially young adults, migrate to big cities, while others go abroad to work in search of better opportunities and higher income.

I'll choose to live comfortably even if it's in a rural place for as long as I have a livelihood or job to go on with. Or I can live with passive income from my investments but with the cost of living that keeps on rising, I rather not to be passive and be jobless even if that's the best life that I am trying to achieve and dream with. Opportunities don't last if they have come to us once.

That is the common thing for most young adults and professionals, they'd go where the greener pasture is.

Living in a rural place isn't as fun as it sounds. While I understand the romantic approach to it, my parents do live in a rural place and it is not as good as it sounds. For example, their house is near the sea, can see a great sea view all along their balcony, amazing sight, and they live near the beach too because of it, they can swim whenever they want, it is a lovely rural home, and it would cost 10+ million dollars to have that kind of big home in where I live at urban area, my home is not even half the size of their home. So why it could be bad?

Because hospital is far away, schools are far away (schools may not matter to my parents lol but would matter to younger people) and there are no good things to do, like no concerts, no cinema, no good places to hang out, and your friends would be at the city, so it's boring.

Environment matters very much as it has great influence in the life of a person.
You can only be influenced be your environment if you allow your self to tbe influence mostly when there is no self control and ambition.
I have in several OCC seen people who live in place that are not really good for people who want to go far in life, like a highly corrupt area still come out of such place a better people.

[Dickiy]

I think it is a common thing, meaning that it is not uncommon for me to see people who go to other places just to look for work, like migrating for example, they are just there to work and not to move permanently.

I also live in a city that is quite full of factories, ranging from textiles and clothing materials and I see a lot of people from outside the city who migrate to my place just to find work and even in one of the factories near where I live there are more employees from outside the city than local people.
Thinking about where we want to live is good but choosing where we want to be born doesn't make sense.

It's my dream job, to go to places and still work with whatever is designated and assigned for me. That's why I admire those who are in the field work and can go to places, locally and abroad just to do business and represent the companies that they are working for. So, it's really a blessing that wherever they go, they have a job to work on and they are very adaptable. It's also because they are skilled and experienced. And living simply in the city and having a job is also the kind of life that would like to have, having no trouble with bills, you just have to do what you have to do and enjoy the money you earn.

[Makus]

where we are born is out of our control but staying there knowing you can't have much opportunities compared to other places is entirely up to you as an individual. where you live is important because it has an influence over the way you think and how you respond to certain situations. your environment can be a factor that makes you work harder, if you are in an environment where people are always talking about how to start up business and making money. your environment has a huge influence over you the way you are living

[goro_chief]

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.

Ngl, location helps, but it’s not everything. Plenty of people live in “good” cities and still struggle. Skills, mindset, and adaptability still matter. Location amplifies effort, it doesn’t replace it

[Juse14]

Oh my, it's 2025, and technology and the internet have spread to every corner of the globe. If I go to the city just to work in a factory, what's the point? We can't choose where we're born, but we must find the reason why we were destined to be born there. Because maybe you or I were born there, because we are the ones who will bring change to that place. So we're no longer just talking about finding job opportunities, but we're the ones who create those opportunities. With what? With our creativity, our innovation, and our ability to leverage the presence of technology and the internet to generate profits. Because today is different from a few years ago, where with the presence of the internet, we can gain access and opportunities simply by staying at home.

For a person to survive, he first needs a good job through which he can manage his life very well. Many times it is seen that there is no good job search in less developed countries. They leave their country only for the sake of work because if the job is not good then their financial situation will not improve. That is why it is natural that when one of us leaves our own home and goes to another place for work, we first give priority to our work environment, that is, how much money we will get there and how much our standard of living will improve, we take the decision to leave our place only after considering these things.

I wouldn't wish a factory job on anyone. This is a forum about Bitcoin and altcoins, after all. In this day and age, even a simple rural schoolteacher can become a millionaire by making the right memecoin purchase—though I don't support that type of earnings, which look a lot like gambling.

But here is my main point: practically anywhere you are born, provided it's not some forgotten corner of Africa or North Korea, you have access to the Internet. That means you can meet interesting people, acquire skills, and gain a specialty for working online. Suddenly, you are no longer tied to a specific location, and most importantly, you don't have to go to a factory just to become an appendage to an assembly line.

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

This is a good consideration, but it's not the yardstick to ascertain where you will live and be successful. Many factors should be considered before taking this decision, which are not limited to;

1. Your vision in life, and destiny. This affects people more than they can ever imagine if their location or the type of job they do doesn't align with the two.

2. The population of the place. A place could have enough opportunities, but if it's crowded, it's a problem. You can imagine New York that is the financial capital of the US. But for population, it has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country (4.1%), compared to places like South Dakota (2.0%) that people hardly mention.

3. Your creativity and what you want for yourself. Do you want to be an employer or an employee?  Some people will create wealth out of nothing, simply by solving problems. This is irrespective of your location, but your creativity and insightfulness.

I’ve seen people grind nonstop in their hometown and get nowhere, then move and suddenly the same skills pay off. Same person, same effort, different outcome. That’s when you realize it wasn’t laziness or lack of intelligence — it was the system around them.

The wrong location is also often a determining factor in making money. This means that when you're in a place where your skills and the products you sell are completely unneeded by the people around you, it's worth moving because perhaps the other place is in great demand for your skills and products, and they'll always be valued appropriately by people there. And that's a very common thing, in my opinion, because every place is always different, both in terms of individual skills and food products, and so on. People who move to another place aren't necessarily unlucky or lazy in their own place, but also because their current skills aren't needed there.

There's this saying"you're a product of your environment,hence surround yourself with the best".
The environment one grow up in might not actually dictates ones life but it shapes. Economically,where we live determines our success and our choice of career. If the environment is full of opportunities you will see people striving to develop their skills and career, work on it and become successful and in an environment where job opportunities are limited people work hard towards what is on ground there maybe small businesses and others  tend to relocate or move out to places with enough opportunities to better their lives.

There's no good country anywhere. Don't be deceive by what you read or watch about those countries claiming to be a good country. The fact is, some countries are actually doing better than others but every country has a challenge they're struggling with. Although some countries are good in hiding their bad side and showcase only the good side for others to see while some expose their flaws publicly.

What triggers your mind to relocate from your location to another is usually availability of opportunities in the new location you're proposing. Where there's availability of working factories, there must be need for suitable labourers to make the factory functioning. Relocating to such places is never a bad move to look for greener pasture but you should also consider other things like security (very necessary) and cost of living before making a move.

[alankasman]

I get what you’re saying, and I like the idea behind it. The internet really did level the playing field in a lot of ways. That said, I think location still matters, just not as much as before. Being born somewhere doesn’t limit your value, but it can limit your starting options. Tech gives us tools to create opportunities, but mindset and action decide whether we actually use them. In the end, some people leave to grow, others stay to build — both paths can work

As you said, it really doesn't matter where we live or where we were born, because we can adapt to anyone and anywhere. What we need even if we're in a remote area is communication, because the people around us can provide motivation and a picture of life that aligns with their ideas. So for me maintaining it is no problem.

Regarding technology I think almost everyone currently needs it especially when it comes to internet especially now that almost all activities require an internet network whether in offices, schools, or even in all types of businesses, especially cafes. The main thing is that for the convenience of users, they must have a technology network in the form of an internet, because some people work only through the internet network by inputting news or updating everything that happens regarding disasters that occur in an area. Of course, all that is needed is the network.

yes for sure where you are born have a grate impact in your live. still yet it doesn't determine your whole entire life success, you may be born into an environment were certain condition strongly influences the path of growth tending to set you back from the unset.

you just need to find a way out get a support system and make it work for you because even people that are born in those places you think are better can still not succeed if they do not make good choice or even mental health struggle can also affect once growth.

 but let me be very honest where and how you're born really do have some kind of effect on your way of life and also growth profoundly but not very rigid, random events also matters alot.

[DYOR+BTC]

Yes I agree with you on that, the environment we find ourselves has either positive or negative effects on our life but never means there won't be change if need be. In Various environment different way of life is practiced and all has either positive or negative effects on the citizens of that particular area for example, someone living in a urban area with all living a cultured life will have a different life style from someone living in a rural area with all surviving from farms, fishing  and I they local sources of income won't be the same but one quality I know common to all is the ability to .

[Ishicryptic]

Environment and positions goes a long way to determine how far you can go in life, if you are from a place where there is no development it will be difficult to make it in such an environment. If you don't have the capacity to effect change in your area it is better for you to move otherwise you can be caught in poverty for the rest of your life. Due to the bad governance in almost all the third world countries their citizens are trying hard to migrate to developed countries where they will have better opportunities to make it in life even if they are less paid than the citizens. It is easier for make it and live quality lifestyles in developed countries where jobs and social amenities are available rather than staying put in an environment where suffering is everywhere and there is nothing to chalange you to make it in life.
