From Homeless to Millionaire

I just read an email with the subject “Formerly homeless man becomes a Millionaire”. No, I did not click on the link in the email to get the rest of the story because the story is common and of no interest to me.

You see, according to Blank Slate (BS for short), anyone can be, do, have anything as long as they take massive action and have a positive attitude. And that is total BS.

It is said we are all born equal, and that is true to a degree, a very small degree. Perhaps this actually means we are all born with equal opportunity. That is a little closer to being true but not quite.

We are not all born with the same make-up. We are not born into the same rich environment. We are not all born with the same genetic make-up.

However, we are all born with the ability to be happy and with the potential to add value to the lives of others in return for us to add value to our happiness and success.

We are social beings and as such we need to interact with others to be all that we can be. We also need to realize that we need the support of others if we are going to fulfill our purpose for being.
