It isn't money, it isn't look,s social skills, or any of that. It's ambition. Having ambition and aspirations is one of the core tenants to self improve and do well in life. My students who are the least academically able, mess around the most and just want to become a brick layer like their father, live and then die in the same city. Those students have the least ambition, they don't have any dreams and hence don't care. I grew up quite poor, none of my parents even uni educated, my mother dropping out of school at age 14, but I had ambition, my parents had ambition. They moved to an entirely different country for a better life and had the dream of having educated children. I grew up with some bad stuff in my life, but I still never lost hope. I still never thought of not going to university, or getting an education. That was always in my head. I had ambition and that's what pushed me through. It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there, as long as I can get there I'm fine.
Now how does this ambition talk even affect you?
Take some of the people I work with. I work with people who are far more educated and smarter than me. The science assistants that I work with, they are more educated than me. They hold masters and multiple undergrads in various disciplines, yet they work in a lower position? Why? They had kids, they wanted to raise a family, their husbands go to work and they just want a steady job with easy work hours. They don't have any career ambitions, these people could be big time doctors, lawyers or any high paying position with more status.
But instead opted out of that life and wanted to raise their kids. They lost their ambition.
Every single person on this site, and even the lurkers who are reading this thread. You have a dream, an ambition. Never lose that, losing it means you've lost the entire battle. It doesn't matter how long it takes, it doesn't matter if others are getting ahead of you, what matters is, is you are consistent. Losses will come, sacrafices will need to be made, nothing good has ever come without struggle.
