Where you live dictates your life

[sleepfirefly]

The search for greena pasture is human blood stream, call or moving for better environment enhance the well being of human, no adaptation solve the problem of human well being mostly when the environment is not habitable and capable of providing good human living.

even animals migrate into better environments it’s biological to have the urge to survive so we look for the best place to do so

where can we get food? water? shelter? those kind of things.

[Powerjumboo]

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.

We have nothing to regret about being born because we came to this world the way God sent us. Some are born very poor and some are born in high-rise luxury buildings but no one should regret about this but we have to arrange our own lives and make ourselves in such a way that our children do not spend their days in sorrow. I was not born in a luxurious house I was born in a simple house and I grew up from there but I am quite proud of my birthplace. Because I do not have to go to another city to settle myself I can take care of my own work.

That is survival instinct and we're all mammals that have that instinct. That's a normal instinct for a human living and even animals have lives too to look for food to eat and water to drink.

While there is no choice where we can be born, we can choose where we can die. If we live in places that we don't like, when the right time comes. We have to move out and go to the place where we want to spend the rest of our lives.

Of course by all means of working and having livelihood is there because that's basic thing to be done to make it happen.

Where you are born is out of your control, yes, but i think relocation decisions are usually more layered than job availability. Jobs matter of course but so do the quality of those jobs, cost of living, saftey and long term growth opportunities.  A city can have many factories and still trap people in low wages or port living conditions if there is no upward mobility.

Also not everyone has the same freedom to move easily. there is family ties, immigration laws, skills and finances all affect whether relocation is realistic or sustainable. It is always best to move to where your skills are valued and can grow over time. So yeah center of commerce and production are important but the real question is whether the place can offer not just employment but a path to stability, development and a better quality of life in the long run.

Not everyone is also privy to travel out of their country in search of a quality and better life in the long run. Yes, immigration laws, your skills, as well as money to get there helps in hindering people from relocating.
Stability and a path to a quality of better life are also points to look out for when trying to relocate for want of a better life but immigration laws as well as your low finances makes it unsustainable. For a lot of people, even relocating is kinda out of the question as they can't afford even that as well.
I think a place that can provide a much better employment opportunity than the country you'retrying to relocate from, has a path, no matter how little to stability and development with a better quality of life.

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.

Sure thing. But u think was hinting on the fact that where you grow up from has a major effect on you, especially while growing up as a young guy, but also, I think that environmental influence is has a limited time frame for some people who are proactive and would want to resist such environmental influence.

Just like you stated, indigenes who do not want to stay there or like the lifestyle may push there way out and go for greener pastures elsewhere. So this kind of people after spending years out of there born place, they come back changed in character and affluence, and becomes entirely different from the people there. Some even speak differently if the original place has an effect on the tongue and there way of speaking. It is only those who stay behind and didn't push out that would remain that way. So yea, our place of origin can affect us, but we can also fight out wat out.

Environmental influences can be a factor but for us young people it's certainly a common occurrence in various places where we live. There are risks wherever we are. All of these things have their advantages and disadvantages especially in an environment based on proactive people who will clearly resist even in various ways.

A person's lifestyle will begin to be visible in their activities even though sometimes it's related to their personality traits. However all of this will be quite obvious especially where a person lives which will be evident from their appearance character, and other aspects. Even without clarification everyone will recognize a person simply by what we mentioned above regarding their environment and lifestyle.

You have to earn to survive. Those who are born in cities and populated and economically prosperous areas do not need to move elsewhere for employment. If you are born in a rural area, it is technologically backward so you should choose an urban area for education. Often there is a lack of employment in rural areas and if you do not have agricultural land, it can be very difficult to meet basic needs. Poor people go to those economic areas for work, where there are institutions for their children to study and where they can improve technologically.

No one is satisfied with just fulfilling basic needs almost everyone is ready to work hard to acquire wealth. For personal development, you should leave your birthplace. Most people do so for higher education and better jobs.

[Fiasem20]

Actually you’re correct,environmental factors can dictate one’s life.Many individuals don’t have access to job due to where they’re born and where they’re living.Most environmental factors also work hand in hand with culture that would ruin an individual’s future,I overheard a conservation from a person about how they were treated while growing up,the young man said in their community only those that assisted their parents in the farm are the ones that were privileged to go to school in essence if you’re not strong to work in the farm you won’t have access to education,whereas education is a fundamental right but culture and environmental factors has deprived most children from being educated.

It's not under our control where we were born but what's under our control is to work hard and prosper in life. We can associate famous quote of Bill Gates with this where he said, "If you are born poor, it's not your mistake, but if you die poor, it's your mistake". Their are many hardship in life but there are also many opportunities around us, which we have to explore for a better future. There are many examples where a kid born in poor family work hard and became a successful person. We can take example of Abraham Lincoln, he was born in poor family but through continuous struggle he became President of USA.

In almost all cases, it is someone environment that dictates their life. If someone is living in a village where there are no educational opportunities, they may never have the idea to go to school and become educated, or even learn some useful skills that may help them .Many people are given only limited opportunities for earning and must rely on small farm in the villages .which cannot always feed them.but when someone has the opportunity to be in an environment that offers better chances, their life will change, and even their mentality will change. So what really determines someone’s life is the environment we live in, and that is why we always need to think carefully about where we build our families, so they can have a better future.

[Dunamisx]

It is not proper that we let our environment that we live in determines our life or future, we shouldn't let our background take our back to the ground, we have to wake, that is why there is free to movement, we can migrate to a more greener pasture, where we could be served with various opportunities than living in a confide region for too long without anything changing for us.

[Tinubu]

Yes that statement is entirely true...in both ways....(Your normal everyday life..and your life as a Bitcoin holder)..but looking at the aspect of a Bitcoin holder...

Your current location where you live determines and really affects the worth of your Bitcoin...for instance the expenses of someone having a 100BTC and living in a very expensive country can never be the same as one who's having same 100BTC and living in a city with much more cheaper commodities...(Even payment of taxes via BTC varies in most countries)...so while the other is busy spending his Bitcoin in a place that with very expensive commodities.. you're busy stacking up your cash because savings is made easy via lesser expenses...

But one thing I love so much about Bitcoin is it gives us the chance to choose our place of living.... before Bitcoin,(when the government was still in control of our money via banks) relocating to another country or city maybe via (work transfer) was very difficult because you would consider the stress of transferring your funds to another bank..(para venture your current bank is not in the city you're moving to)..

But with Bitcoin it's different...you can take it anywhere and anytime with you....so it's unique 🙂

So when you are deciding where to move, what do you consider?

I considered my future, where it will be in my best favors, nothing is easy, but that's another topic, I considered the job, the growth I can have if I work hard and save enough and gets a good degree from a good university.

We don't actually have plans to be at a point because usually it is very hard to follows them, most of us don't even know what they will be in the next 10 years they have jobs, they are doing it, they are surviving whatever they have and not getting a second thought until they have to. The point is, we can't consider everything we just have a feeling that it will be good so lets do it.

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.

Exactly you made a point, honestly speaking, some people are being influenced by the environment they are, and some people are not influenced by the environment they are too because those who are not influenced knows where they came from and equally knows where they are heading to and that is why they refused to be influenced by their environment they live in or came from and those are people that engage themselves in what is called hard working, industrious, determination and consistent,but those that are being influenced by the environment they live in are those who don't actually have plans for their life..

So the environment we where born is not the major challenges that makes one to remain poor or rich,  because they are still people who are poor in well developed country that is being blessed with different infrastructure and natural resources while they are also people who made it in a country that has nothing, very poor economic situation and that is to say that it's all about how prepared are you to navigate every situation around you ..

[Cheema02]

We actually have no choice in where we are born and just have to make do with what life presents us with. While your society contributes a great deal in shaping your beliefs, presenting you with an ideology, I don't think it fully dictates your life. The choices we all make in life may be influenced by someone or something, in the end, we are the ones that ultimately made those choices.
It can also be really difficult if born into a low income household. With little to no resources coupled with no or very limited skill or education, not forgetting the ever increasing divide between the rich and the poor, there is a constant struggle to get a better life.

Your point is really thoughtful about life. As everyone knows nobody has control of where he was born and in which circumstances he was born. Society mainly affects our beliefs and worldview but actually its not determine our destiny. Mainly an individual can choose things according to his culture or family, so being born in poor family it's doesn't mean that we fail but actually that kind of people become more successful because they face the challenges in very early age like shortage of food and money and that's why time teach you y how to survive survive. But for  being rich the sunerio completely changed. So the learning point is that being born as rich or poor does not depend on wealth but it depends on how we can manage our finance property.

Wait hold on though. You're saying environment doesn't matter because some people overcome environment? That's... I mean that's necessarily proving it DOES matter. If environment was neutral you would not need superhuman willpower to escape from it. The point of that is that it takes extraordinary determination.

And this thing about poor people in rich countries - like they're poor because they don't have plans. But what does that even mean? I hope it sounds like a good narrative. Personal responsibility and all that. Except it omits the bit about "having plans" require certain conditions to exist first.

Someone in Norway can plan since planning actually works there. You could say "I'll study this, get that job, build from there" and the infrastructure supports it. Healthcare can't go bankrupt you in the middle of your plan. Education is accessible. There's actual rungs on the ladder.

Compare that with planning in a place where the system is broken. Where corruption is gobbling up your effort. Where one bad harvest, or sick one family member destroys everything you built. Those are not the same conditions. Determination has no dealings with structural collapse.

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.

Totally right, inasmuch as people has the right to do whatever thing they believed its good for them in life, so did they also has the right to choose what influence them or who influence them in their life as well.
Which is why it is stated that ' Evil communication corrupt good manner', because everyone knows what its right and what its wrong in life. So deciding to be with those that will influence positively or negatively totally depends on their own choice as whatever decision that one makes has both advantage and disadvantage and whatever thing that one sow, thou shall they reap as well.

And the great thing about all of this is that we can't be forcefully influenced into any behaviour, at least not in a free society where rights are respected, so in any influence it's the individual who gives himself up to be influenced. Even in communication, if you don't engage in, you wouldn't be incorporated into that discussion. Neither environment or people dictates our life, we are the author to what and where we choose to be, fate is just part of many life's choices we make. You make the right choices you'll mostly be in the right rooms.

Our behavior won't be respected if whatever we do is problematic. However what we need to pay attention to is how people can respect us when the attitudes and behaviors we display to them are always an unhealthy spectacle. So we can only submit to those whose communication can be processed through their behavior. This behavior can certainly determine our attitudes in life whether with a wider circle of people or by only selecting a select few who are willing to listen to what we have to say when we're around them whether openly or privately.

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.

I believe that being born in a wealthy country isn't always the happiest start for a person, because many people in poor countries are happy. I heard a story about a guy from South Korea who didn't want to continue living there because of the difficult competition in studies and work, so he became a freelancer and moved to the Philippines, a not-so-wealthy country, but he was happy there and found a wife.
Although, as far as I know, Philippines often move to Japan and South Korea because of the high wages there. But each concept of happiness has its own priorities, and some seek money in life, while others seek peace and comfort.

Our environment either pushes us toward growth or, on the contrary, toward degradation. That’s why it makes sense to step outside our usual environment and move toward more prosperous places and people, they will naturally pull us upward. But if we choose to stay where we look better than everyone else, we will very quickly sink down to the level of our surroundings. If there is no opportunity at the moment to find such people or conditions, focus on self-development. Listen online to people who inspire you and can teach you something, and over time new people and opportunities will naturally align with your mindset and worldview. Keep moving forward, keep growing, and keep looking for new possibilities.
