According to the essay, beginning life in poverty can be the catalyst to create a “full and rounded life, the only real kind of success.” Life must have a certain amount of material goods, but after those are attained it is the elements of the soul that matter the most. People who are rich also live a life of distraction. In contrast, poverty can give people the opportunity to pay closer attention to the world around them.
