I didnt live off them, I never took a dime from them, bought everything on my own.
And therein lies the reason for your success. You made your own breaks by working
hard and having a family that stood behind you.
Hard workers will always be noticed by people and the harder and more you work the more employers will want you on their team. You make your own luck.
As I mentioned before, very few of us were ever born with a silver spoon in our mouths, we worked for everything we got, and even those that were born with it, someone at sometime had to sacrafice in order to get the silver spoon.
So why isn't that fair that hard workers get ahead and slackards don't?
You can take hardships and become a stronger and a better person or become
sour on life and take down all around you.
The greatest break anyone can have is to have been born in this country or
move here and become a citizen, that should be enough.
More opportunity to work and succeed here than in any other place in the world.
