Hardship surely has an influence on mentallity.

[Insanity]

Economic hardship has a lot of effects on human mentality. I can see those that are very poor how the act or react to things, it is not always like the way the rich react. Economic hardship can reduce your level of IQ, it makes you believe everything without proper verification, it makes you become talkative sometimes, it makes you lose composure. Hardship makes you sometimes believe that there is no legit or clean way  to make money except iligal means. Hardship is a virus or deases of it own.

beside rich men who are suffering from one emotional problem or the other which is probably caused by their psychological condition, most rich people are naturally happy, complain less and react to issues in the most calm and positive manner while people who come from extremely poor environments have anger issues and are not very tolerant or optimistic about things. They don’t get to see the positive side of things without firstly seeing the negatives in it. They complain the most and criticize the most and would take little action whereas the rich would talk less and swing into action almost immediately.

You're right, there's a human element to it and hardship can definitely skew a person's attitude to life, but I don't think you should say too much because I think it's important to be careful not to generalize. The stress of poverty and financial hardship can affect decision making. Frustrate and cause anxiety because people tend to focus on surviving rather than planning. But wealth does not necessarily lead to a calm, wise, and happy person, nor does poverty lead to an angry and pessimistic person. Either attitude can be found in every social class. Hardship can also engender resilience, discipline, and determination in many instances. Being rich is not always the key to the difference; it may be a mix of environment, education, opportunities and personality. The economy affects the mindset, but it doesn't make everyone who is in it behave or think in that way.

Sad to say that most if not all have that mentality, they will keep whatever they've got and not to think of the box trying to improve their livestyle, some may take the risk and gamble with fate, but the majority will stay and feel contented with the way how life works to them, they already accept that everything is normal and to keep surviving they need to embrace that hardship that they've experienced in everyday life.

True life is just somehow so many people face financial problem lack of access to opportunities in life and that’s the most painful part of life. Progress starts when we are willing to think beyond out current situation, learn new things in life and learn how to take and manage risks in life because without taking taking risk I actually believe hardship is constant.

Indeed, hardship though can be rewarded of good success if you are willing to dedicate your time and focus to something that may change the direction of your financial capability, there are open venue but you need to think out of your comfort zone as adjustment can't be avoided, as if you just keep from what you have then hardship will always be converted to the same outcome.

Everything in this world is all about luck but I am so much confidence that luck doesn't come to lazy people, you just have to do something before it can find you. The problem of some of us is that they feel relaxed when they are in their comfort zone and they never think of going out, the funniest part is that they keep on expecting to be out of this hardship, all fingers are not equal that is one thing that we should understand too, some people will find it very easy in getting out of hardship while some will undergo a longer process.

There are times when a difficulty actually pushes someone to think harder and ultimately come up with an idea that would never have occurred to someone not facing severe economic pressure. After all, there are quite a few people who have gone on to become very successful, people who originally came from poor backgrounds and found themselves in situations that were completely disadvantageous within their own communities; some were even repeatedly rejected when applying for jobs. In fact, this person was rejected by nearly 30 companies where he applied for jobs. I’m referring to Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba. He went on to establish a company like Alibaba. something no one else in his country had ever imagined at the time. And it wasn’t just limited to his country; eventually, his company broke into the international market and remains there to this day.

So, behind every difficulty, as long as a person doesn’t give up, there will surely be a way forward, provided that person has a strong spirit that doesn’t give up easily and continues to find ways to achieve success. Sometimes, difficulties actually make a person develop a stronger mindset/mentality than the average person who has never faced any difficulties at all.

You are extremely right, from my perspective, success is the ability to achieve all your wants, wishes, and desires. And it is important or advisable to celebrate all the small wins. People cannot always get a chance to become wealthy, the must greatest success is stability. Surviving the hardship is a great opportunity, because despite everything that is happening people manage to survive the hardship. Poor people are the ones experiencing the hardship and they are facing different kind of challenges.

Yes for sure luck exist, but luck favors those who keep showing up..  Hardworking people naturally create more opportunities for luck to find them because they stay consistent even when nothing seems to be working..
Sitting in your comfort zone and waiting will not change anything.. Even if luck plays a role, you still have to put yourself in a position where it can meet you..

People are no longer ignorant with how they feel with the economic situation of their respective countries.

And that shows how the kind of living they are, and if they feel the hardship for their individual lives. They know that there's wrong with the country economically.

When those signs are visible, that creates the thought in the minds that they're struggling with and when we've got a lot of thinking to do then we all think of those problems that affects us mentally.
