Made me cry, recognizing how I view my colleagues as beyond me as well due to my upbringing. Thanks for this - much needed during a dark period where a lack of employment opportunities cause me to question my progress and value.
Great reading, as usual. Thank you for that. Although I really admire your life story, as many others stories from people who challenge their country's social/economical mobility; I believe that the "mindsetting process" must be contextualized. The (new) new era of fake gurús and modern hippies sell in social media the need to follow an specific and only path for being succesful in life (spiritually, economically...); which in many cases respond to their wealthy economical background. In countries like mine (Latin America), young people people are striving between what this fake gurús sell to them and what reality offers. Don't get me wrong, I am truly believer that you get what you put your attention and energy in, but for this younglings setting their mindset must be paired with a specific put-to-work strategy in their life, to be able to jump from there to the point where they could dream as big as you. If they don't build this bridge, their expectations will be hardly fulfilled, and the path of depression, delinquency and drug cartels will knock at their doors.

Thank you so much for this! The synchronicity is crazy as I've began to notice this around the same time you published this
