I was told once that in order to win I must work while the beautiful people played. I must work while they slept. I must work while the gifted squandered their God-Given talents and advantages. Having had nothing all my life, these admonitions have paid great dividends and given me everything to build on.
All of us when we were growing up found ourselves on the outside looking in and wishing that we had some way to be a art of the “In Crowd.” We wanted it so bad we salivated at the tiniest bit of attention this group would give us. We wished with all our being that we could be that “cool” or that we would be cute enough or beautiful enough to be invited to hang out with the “God’s of Privilege.” These days also taught us that these wonderful groups also could hurt us badly while tolerating our presence. I need not elaborate.
I had no magic formula to be better than the “rich and famous.” But, when I heard that I could beat these “Titans of Privilege” by working hard, I was speechless. Finally, there was a way to win in this world without having to suck up to those that had it all. I simply had to work harder than anybody else.
There it is for all of us to gaze upon! In a single thought, “Miracles tend to happen to those who work very hard. “ Accept the fact that there is no free pass. There is nothing that can be had by wishing it to be so. If any of us wants to win we have to “WORK HARDER THAN ANYONE ELSE.”
Any questions? I didn’t think so! Time to go to work.
