Capital Isn't Everything
Effort builds the life you want
Life without capital is not scary.
Life without effort is scary.
This sentence reflects an important idea
about success in life, profoundly.
Cost does not determine the future:
- Being born with capital
- Assets, status or opportunities
may be an advantage
but not a determiner of success.
People without capital can create it
through knowledge, skills and experience.
Effort is an important factor:
What is scary is not the lack of capital
but the lack of effort to change oneself.
People who do not take action, do not strive
or do not develop themselves
will never reach the desired point.
Real-life example:
Many people who start from zero
But can create success
such as businessmen who have failed but rise up again
or people who grow up from
families with a lack but try to learn
and develop themselves to have a better life.
Conclusion:
Cost... may be just the starting point
But, effort
Is what leads life to the destination.
If we try and do not give up
we can create our own capital
and change our lives the way we want.

Life is an ongoing process of development and learning. I never attracted a lot of money, but I have done a lot of things, met a lot of people, and schmoozed with Hollywood entertainment moguls back in the day. I created, wrote, sang, etc with very little money to cover my expenses. Still learning at 75.
Very nice
Well-wrought! Capital is, however, all too often the enemy of sincere effort when it incentivizes injustice and incompetence--especially where usury is involved.
