Exactly right. Life is not fair, nor was it promised to be as such. The sooner that you learn this concept, the better off you will be.
Like the Squeeler, I had to overcome any number of life's obstacles. Parents gone when I was in my early teens. Grand parents gone by the time i was 20 leaving me with nothing but a younger sister. When you fuck up, there is no parental or family safety net to save you from the concrete.
I have had many ups and downs, but I never stopped trying. I got back up, dusted myself off, learned from my mistakes and got back to work. Every time I have, I made more money than the time before. I've never claimed to be perfect, but I can tell you from life experience that if you WANT to be some level of successful in life, it's possible. If you have to reinvent yourself, it's possible.
Of course this all requires some level of desire to make something of your self and a work ethic, which is where most fall short.
