stagnate, rot and die if one do not put it in good
use but just submit himself to others. Man has
unlimited potentials. But only a small portion of

different socioeconomic backgrounds than our own.
While people are truly impacted by these factors,
some people can overcome them and reach success.
Many people throughout history have prevailed over
