Were You Born on First Base or Third Base? REI In Your Car 1271
I was listening to a sports radio show, and they were talking about Jay-Z and Drake. They asked a very interesting question about when it should be time for them to stop singing and rapping about being poor. One guy said they can talk about it all they want because some people are born on first base and others on third. I thought about it, and it\u2019s so true. None of us are born on home plate. Some people out there learned from the school of hard knocks and grew up in the streets or the hood. Others grew up in suburban, middle-class families, and their parents never got divorced.
None of us get to choose when and where we\u2019re born; that\u2019s just the way it is. A lot of people blame their circumstances and failures on how they were raised, but I think that\u2019s just an excuse. I know a lot of successful people that are in business today who were born on first base and are doing really well. My point is to stop making excuses for your lack of success and let it fire you up. You should also be excited and learn from others who are doing well.
