maybe in certain condition family play role in their children success. but that doesnt mean people from poor family doesnt stand a chance to become as success as rich family.

Hi. Welcome to mylot. I hope that you'll enjoy it here. I could partly agree with your post. I guess it's a sad truth of life. Rich kids have better opportunities than kids from poor families. When I was younger, I had many "bad experiences" or "unjust treatment" because I belong to the poor family class. For a very long time, I believed that "life is unfair." No matter how hard I tried, my efforts were just not enough as compared to that of the kids from well-off families. To end the agony, I just stopped competing with them. I started to mind my own studies and become contented with whatever I get. This helped me a lot because I started to enjoy whatever I have. I thanked God that at least He has given me the gift of understanding and above-average level of intelligence. I happen to have poor and ill-educated parents who could not simply afford to send their children to school. Through scholarship grants, I was able to finish my high school and university education. I graduated top of the class and easily passed my board exams. I was accepted to work in a big firm and worked my way up the corporate ladder. Looking back at our class pictures, I believe that I am really blessed - I may not be the richest and most successful yet I am really thankful with what I have become. I have worked hard to achieve it. I may not be everything I wanted to be, but at least I can thank God that I'm not what I used to be... Just continue believing in your abilities - improve and nourish them almost everyday. Have a blessed day.
