Your Success or Even Survival In This World Is Not Guaranteed or Owed To You

Being "free" is no guarantee of success. Success is a combo of skill, oppty, circumstance and mostly, effort. None of my generation had it as hard as our grandparents; we have far more oppty offered to us; but now, everyone feels that success and survival is something owed to them. The world owes you nothing. It is just the tree where YOU pick the fruit. If you cant reach the fruit, you have to build a ladder.
