Sorry you weren’t born a member of the Lucky Sperm Club. It may not be fair to ask you to put all that behind you and never think about that again, but that is what you will have to do to achieve your goals. You simply can’t give yourself such a ready excuse for failure. </p>
<p>I have a great friend who I have posted about before that not only went to CC, he went at night and on Saturdays. He worked construction all week to support his family. Maybe 2 courses a semester. Well, he watched me go to Law School (I was getting a couple of required courses out of the way). He has told me that his thought was “Damn. Here I was all p’o’ed that I didn’t have the opportunity those rich kids across town were given by their ‘diddy’ but if this blue-collar clown can do it - I can do it, too.” LOL. And he was right. He is now a very successful big firm real estate attorney in Austin. </p>
<p>He stopped giving himself a built-in excuse for failure. </p>
<p>Do what you have to do, but learn to take advice in the spirit it was given. .</p>
