It’s true that no one is born with a silver spoon but it is also true that some peoples future are secured even before birth and others certainly have no clue what they are born into.
Whichever part of the coin you find yourself doesn’t necessarily guarantee a fulfilled life. Silver spoon or not, you define your own path, you either make the most out of what life has to offer or complain about what life denied you. Both choices have a result, you decide.
If there is anything I have learnt in my twenty-three years of existence, it will be that life doesn’t give you what you deserve but what you fight for. In a boxing bout, there are rounds and if you are lucky enough to knock down your opponent early that will mean an early victory, otherwise, you stick it out till the final round. Such is life, some dreams are attained early and others later but the critical success factor is to not give up. Give your best shot at whatever life throws at you, for all you know it may lead you to the greater destination you have been waiting for.
Whether rich or poor, there are battles you will have to fight, brace yourself and come prepared.
