Step-by-step explanation:
A popular proverb has this to say: "To him who is determined, it remains only to act". An end to world poverty is a feat that can be realized for man has been able to achieve so many things which some two hundred years ago, a lot of people would have thought it impossible. An example is the electricity we all enjoy today. It is an outcome of the determined efforts of scientists like Benjamin Franklin and Michael Faraday that we all can enjoy such luxury.
The above is just one out of the multitude of feats that man has brought to life because of the sheer will to do it. It is also an indication of the fact that when every person makes ending world poverty a goal, they all can contribute their expertise and knowledge to make this a reality.
