You’ll see people that you love suffering, and you won’t do anything about it, even when you can. That’s just the way to come out of poverty; it’s the way anybody can come out,” he said.
He further stressed that breaking out of poverty sometimes requires making tough decisions, even when it involves distancing oneself from people and situations that may slow down progress.
