I listened to him as he continued to rant about how it seemed the whole universe had somehow gang up to take him down. How nobody responds to his cries for help and all that.
Look, here’s the thing: nobody owes you anything. Do not expect people to give you a helping hand. If anyone extends it to you, take it but do not set out of your house expecting it.
People who make it in life are those who have developed the tenacity to keep forging ahead no matter what may come their way. Nobody becomes successful because their parents or mentors or bank accounts made them so. Such things can surely assist, but they didn’t make it solely because of that.
Someone once fumed: “I made him what he his today and now see how he is biting the fingers that fed him”, to which he received the reply: “Go and make another one!”. Nobody succeeds because they got or didn’t get assisted by another person. Nobody owes you anything. Forge ahead or die, nobody really cares.
In this ambitious world we have found ourselves, it is everyman for himself. God for us all!
