Message for today: Beat the numbers.
There are more than 7.09 billion people on earth, but only approximately 3% of them are considered "successful". That means that there are only around 212 million of us who at this point and time are earning their fill. To put it in into perspective; America has a population of around 314 million circa 2012, that means not everyone in a single country can make it to the top. The numbers say you can't do it, but I say beat them. Beat the numbers and be successful, you can do it. You may need a Virgil to guide you, but by all means push through the barriers to put your name in that 3%. You've earned it.
