I just got through with a debate with a young person that believes it is absolutely impossible for them to succeed without assistance. They are convinced that the term, pick yourself up by your bootstraps is a lie. It just isn’t so. For those that know me, my children and my family, we are proof it’s not impossible to succeed. I may not be a millionaire but we are all out of poverty and within the moderate middle class. I believe that wasn’t luck and it required hard work to succeed. Everyone can succeed or has the opportunities to succeed. If we don’t, let’s end it now. No need to try. I believe everyone can succeed if they go in the right direction and work hard in a direction that make sense for success.
