I wasn't born with a silver spoon up my ass. I worked my ass off and used any resources that I could find. It took time and hard work. I didn't sit around waiting for a handout and being upset at the world for not getting it.
I did as well, and was successful in doing so, but it definately wasn't a fair/equal field to walk through, which goes to my point.
The world isn't fair. It is impossible to be fair to everyone and having and real world experience would show they. Especially since fair is subjective.
The World is what you make of it.
The world is what it is currently. You can change your perspective or option on it, but that is only internal. You can change how you react and deal with the world.
You've missed the understanding of what that phrase represents.
I'm pretty sure you are taking that quote way to literally. That or you apply it to others and not yourself.
What proof do you have of this?
