The fact that you're from an humble beginning doesn't mean you can't succeed.

There is a saying that goes, "A bullet is not dangerous until it starts moving." Yeah, I know you might be thinking that it doesn't apply to yourself or anyone. For those of us who study physics in school, force is mass multiplied by acceleration.

If you come from a humble background, you have much more work to do than someone who came from a rich background. Why? Because they have more mass, so they don't have to accelerate as much. Those before them have amassed fortune and connections to propel them forward in life.

If you don't have as much mass, your acceleration needs to be crazy high—higher than the common man—in order to get ahead. That's what they mean when they say, "He's moving mad!"

If you're born a behemoth, splendid! Little acceleration, and you're a force to be reckoned with. Other than that, all you can be is a bullet—small, super fast, and dangerous.

You know the best part? Most people just listen and do not take action. So taking consistent action puts you way ahead of the majority.
