What’s admirable are people who went through difficulties and didn’t quit and made it through their perseverance but not those who lucked out by being born in a wealthy family and did nothing else. So, value perseverance and make yourself better instead of running after luck.
Choose the right direction, be stubborn with your purpose and keep going. People who never stop almost always win. Greatness is not a destination. It’s a journey that begins beyond your comfort zone, and it never ends.
