TRANSFORMATION: The Result of Learning and Adapting

"The lack of a silver spoon will set you on a certain path, but you needn't stay on it. If you are prepared to adapt and learn, you can transform." - Kingsmen: The Secret Service

Let no one deceive you; everything they say does not matter, matters. But you have to choose the effect of this 'matter' on your life - whether it be negative or positive.

Motivational speakers always tell you that your background does not matter and also not a determinant to your future. I disagree. The wealth and affluence of a man may not guarantee the success of his son, but it does give the son a head start. Sometimes, the head start is all that makes the difference.

Where you come from does matter. The information and environment you are exposed to matter. But  the result of a determinant is not fixed. Just like everything else, it's effect can be changed.

What if you don't have this head start? Well, lots of people don't and it may or may not mar your future.

The good thing about the future is that it is not cast on stone (not fixed), like many religious people would like you to believe. The future is built every day by the things you do, which are engineered by the choices you make.

So, the lack of a silver spoon (or a head start like I call it) will set you on a path of limitation(s). But you can (consciously) choose to steer off that path by learning and adapting - to new tenets. Of course, this implies more work and less play. Just know it that you can transform into anything you want (or desire) by learning and adapting.
