Where you live dictates your life

[Royal Cap]

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.

Well, this is true the environment certainly has an impact but in my opinion it is not right to blame everything on the environment. Many people have come out of difficult places because they have learned to fight with the situation. However it is also true that bad governance and lack of opportunities often waste people's energy. In my opinion, changing places is necessary only when one's own efforts and time are not yielding results at all but the decision should be a planned progress not an escape.

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 .

Social circles and environments do have a significant influence on our lives, whether in shaping our character, lifestyle, or other aspects. However, we can be different people in our own environment. We can still socialize and get along well with everyone, but we must strive to be the best at one thing among everyone in our environment. That is, in depth of knowledge or insight. Because wherever we are, in the end, we can always see that it is the knowledgeable people who are always the most respected. And usually, with high insight, we can also become the people who can best utilize the potential that exists in our environment. So it is not surprising that education in the past was always highly valued. And in some countries, students are even placed in a certain caste that is quite high. Because the knowledge or insight gained from an education can sometimes bring progress to an environment if it is used properly.

Within a country that is not performing well economically, could be also unexplored sectors, but maybe the citizens are just too lazy or too focused on getting paid in hard currency instead of their local fiat, because of country wide inflation and the mentality that their own country is not economically a good place to grow wealth and family.
Irrespective of where an individual chooses to stay and earn a living, the mentality of such an individual is what matters because the principles of wealth is a knowledge that is learnt and put into effect to have a result, otherwise being paid big even with the best jobs does not guarantee an individual who has relocated to a better place as they think, will become wealthy automatically.

You deserve a merit on this post sorry I don't have any to give now but when I will get one I will award it to you too much inflation right now on merits these days haha.

Anyway I can't agree more with you, because what you have said is not a thing a person without experience can say, I also did not realized this until I saw it with my own eyes, people spending their entire lives in a foreign country earning a lot of money but back in their hometown they are not building anything, and we know people judge us on things they can see like property, land, a luxury house, car not bank balance. (that's another thing to discuss on).

But they spend their entire life abroad but don't spend on these things even their bank balances that they have accumulated so far at some point come to an end and they are then looking for a job when they come back to their hometowns.

I have seen this, not experienced and don't want to but you are right we have to be smart enough to work things out in our own country and my plans are same but my family, friends, and everyone around me wish to go abroad and want me to go abroad as well.

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.

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.

Depending on the rural area, it's not the same with your parents area from the others who chooses to live in a rural area. While it's true that hospitals can be far and the other amenities that we might need. But you gotta plan that out and still live in a rural area where these amenities could just be a couple of drives away. I'm okay without having those entertainment thing like concerts and cinemas and that's why it's not the same for most who thinks of going living completely in the country side. I'm sure the breathe of fresh air is more than enough than the entertainments.

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.

Struggling countries have also powerful people whether they are born in rich families mean the descendants of rich people or belong to a politician family. Politics in under developed countries is also considered as a business which no industry or factory can compete. When you become a mayor of an area then you have the power to shut down the whole industrial state of the concern area. The rest no body is unfortunate whether he is born in Sudan or America. Everybody make their luck by struggle. Americans doesn’t give anything for free, you have to struggle there as well and in Sudan same wise. It reminds me of a famous quote that if you born poor it’s not your fault but if you die poor its totally your fault.

Wherever you live determine how your future will be, wherever you live also determine how the life of your children may turn out to be, I have discovered in life that environment plays a major role in a person's life, some children that are thieves today was not born that way the environment they fine there selves turn them to that, even those who are prostitute the environment they fine there selves caused it, when the environment and everyone there makes the wrong things as the only option to survive and that is why they usually go the wrong way.

For me if I'm to choose where to be or leave I will always choose a place that provides opportunity to young people, a place that don't corrupt children, a place that everyone has a hustling spirit and not a scam spirit or a corrupt spirit. I will want my children to grow having the right mindset.

Changing your environment can sometimes be just as important as changing your skills or ideas. If someone wants to understand your mindset, especially your approach toward business and life, one of the first things they often observe is the locality where you live and the environment you belong to. When you live among people who are educated and determined, their habits and thinking automatically influence you. You start thinking bigger and pushing yourself to improve. Such an environment encourages learning and growth. if you belong to a locality where most people are content with limited earnings and are not ready to take risks or step out of their comfort zone, it can restrict growth.

The country which I am living in doesn’t have that many cities that people would like to work except few but still I will chose Schengen countries to work as the opportunities for working there are infinite. Even if you work as labour the daily wage is much better than the monthly income in here.

The quality of life there is adorable. The law is equal for black, white, common and particular. Culprits are very few in there or very few. Nobody disturb or interfere in someone’s personal matters. Democracy is there in true words.

Environment do have a great impact on someone's personality,
It's just so sad, some where even born to see war and and might not even get to grow. That's why everyone do have something to thank God for.

Nevertheless choosing the place you want to go is another important part so you wouldn't end up in regrets.
I personally will consider peace first, then opportunities not only for job but for an environment that supports creativity and skill development.

[gibrab16]

facts tbh. environment shapes u more than ppl like to admit. if everyone around u is fishing, trading, hustling factories etc, that mindset rubs off on u naturally. doesn’t mean u *can’t* break out, but it’s way harder swimming against the current.

changing location isn’t weakness, it’s strategy. sometimes u don’t change who u are, u just change where ur effort actually makes sense. right place + right mindset = faster growth fr.

How about people who live in their brain, with no modern environment but nature and animals? They'll think like shepherds and artistic people. However environment works with emotions, growing up in the USA would mean speaking like a native, growing up in Africa embraces one to the old cultures of the land, being around abusive parents entails bullying class mates in school.

Psychologists have done much research on emotional intelligence and concluded that wherever we grew up has a great impact in one's life, and this study also clarifies the need to never get mad at other people's behavior, since we could from a single question of where did you grow up? Or how was your childhood like, and figure out why they acted in such a manner.

Human nature is the same in that no one wants to live a difficult life, everyone wants adequate facilities and a job that pays well. Wherever people live, they have the same desires.
As we get older, our thinking changes. When we were children, it was exciting to be bought new shoes and taken to the city, especially on special occasions such as New Year's Day.

I have no intention of leaving the country and my current place of residence, even though it is difficult to find work due to a government system that I do not particularly like.
The life I lead no longer depends on the government, and my happiness lies in how I enjoy it with my beloved family. I work to earn money, then go home and worship God. This is how I live, with the best possible financial management for my children's future education.

if you say where you live can "influence" your life. Yeah, I can agree with you because it can affect one's thinking and also opportunities. But if you say it can "dictate" one's life. Then, I cannot agree with you because I've seen people who live in rural areas and, despite limited opportunities, were able to change their stories. They created value in themselves and what they do that people in the big cities sought after them.

The environment where you live cdn only influence you if you join others to do what they do but if you decide to think differently and understand that the lives that people are living there is not the kind of life you what to live out can be in an environment and be doing things differently so that you can get other opportunities to move out of the environment.

Your environment doesn't force you to do what you want to do so it doesn't dictate for you but if you are associated with the people in the environment if you are not careful you will be acting like your associates.

Op I agree with your point, always focus on job opportunities is matter, I just view it as moving to a place where there is a economic activity, is a very brilliant idea, because it provides chances for people. When city is a center of commerce, for people to find a job is not depend on luck or connection alone, that's demand for labor create many opportunities, that's why people migrate there to better the life.

I experienced this I was born in a village but have now moved to the city. My reasons for moving were economic (looking for work and higher wages), a desire for independence, and most importantly a desire to get out of my comfort zone.

Moving allows us to broaden our horizons and networks. It also allows us to seek new life experiences and freedom from the rules of our hometown. Moving to the city also provides a way to improve my financial well being and to gain social pride by occasionally returning to my hometown. Perhaps this also applies when you move to a neighboring country.

Depends on where you come from. People from Schengen countries are complaining of how low their wages are.
And I think it's also because of the lifestyle that are in there which most likely are expensive.
In paper, salaries there are good and enough if you list modestly but I think you will come to the point of your life.
That once you are there and even with so much opportunity, you'll get tired and probably complain just like them about how low wagers are.
For which, you have to work 2-3 jobs a day.

[slapper]

I wonder if we've gotten too comfortable with the notion that moving is the answer. Not because mobility is bad (it's obviously a form of freedom) but because it allows us to avoid the more difficult question, why do some places offer life and others don't?

Your factory city is an economic engine, engines are not communities. People go there to work, i.e. they're selling themselves and trading time and presence for money, often, at a distance from family and from the places they were raised in. There's a cost to that displacement which is not reflected in employment statistics. Remittances sent home. Childhoods spent apart. The gradual loss of local knowledge when all those with the ability to do so leave.

It is not a lie that your society will have an influence over your life but it has to an extend it can influence you if you don't associate yourself with people that are from your neighborhood. You are live in a corrupt environment and not still part of their lifestyles.
Life is all about choice and that is why I know that whatever people are doing, they are responsible for their decisions and they are consciously aware of what they are doing. Doing something whether you like it or not it's all because you feel like doing it, if you don't want to involve yourself in the corruption am happening around you, it's all your choice.

An area where it can give me the opportunity to get more money, realistically nowadays we cannot settle in an area that cannot give us anything, maybe some people don't mind that they settle in an area with limited opportunities, they have their own reasons, but I personally don't want to stay in a place that doesn't offer growth, opportunities, and a decent life, if I can I choose to look for a place that offers better opportunities compared to settling in an area with limited opportunities.

Job access matters a lot, people usually move where work and income are stable, cost of living and safety also weigh heavy when choosing.
