Which other reason do you think has kept people poor aside the economy and the government?
Comfort zone is one manipulative phenomenon that have kept many young men out their in abject poverty but they still can't come to realization because their current state make them comfortable with what it provides and as such they fear to take risk because they believe that they could risk losing what they are enjoying where they are if they venture into new or foreign grounds but meanwhile they could have being able to achieve 5x much more if they could have taken the bold step of doing the uncommon thing.
Being trapped in a comfort zone is an advantage that must be enjoyed, but what is wrong is that currently many young people are trapped in a comfort zone that does not give them any benefit other than health which I think is affected. In my environment, there are many young people like this, every day they gather to spend time playing games that do not produce any benefits, even willing to stay up all night just to play them, this has become a culture in my environment. This makes them reluctant to move or step forward even though it is for their own good, sometimes they have to experience an incident that makes them aware, such as losing both parents because with this they will feel the difficulty of surviving without attention from both parents. At times like this, they will start looking for work, sometimes taking risks to survive.
Some would be thinking that why they would be going out of their comfort zone if they are currently doing just fine? For sure there are really tons of people who do have this kind of impressions and this is why they would be staying up on where they are but we do know that when it comes to progress and development then you would really be that stuck. We do know that on this world on which there are things on which gives out that opportunity that you would be having that something more better in terms of financial upgrade and chances but somehow you would really be needing up to get out with that comfort zone on which you would really be that needing up to choose whether you would be going out or you would really be staying on where you are now.
