“Money affords the wealthy time to cultivate their talents, but not all the wealthy are talented and not all take advantage of it. Most have to recognize the opportunity when it arises, seize it, and find time for their passion while working to pay rent and keep food in the refrigerator. If some people are born on third base and spend their whole life thinking they hit a triple, the rest of us have to beat out bunts, steal second, and dive into third on a sacrifice fly. After dusting yourself off, at least you know you worked hard to arrive, and scoring from there tastes even sweeter.”
