when entered into college,i am always thinking how to achieve success.
but until now i have no ideas
i ususlly find that worse people can get better job and education,because they have rich or powerful family .At this time i am regret,even if i study much harder than them,but they can possess somenthing easily,which i eager for a long time
i know i should not thought like this,but under such fiece competition,the people born with silver chopsticks are,you know,so relexed

Ofcourse, a good family is the biggest support for climbing success steps.

Hi. Welcome to mylot. I hope that you'll enjoy it here.
I could partly agree with your post. I guess it's a sad truth of life. Rich kids have better opportunities than kids from poor families.
When I was younger, I had many "bad experiences" or "unjust treatment" because I belong to the poor family class. For a very long time, I believed that "life is unfair." No matter how hard I tried, my efforts were just not enough as compared to that of the kids from well-off families. To end the agony, I just stopped competing with them. I started to mind my own studies and become contented with whatever I get. This helped me a lot because I started to enjoy whatever I have. I thanked God that at least He has given me the gift of understanding and above-average level of intelligence.
I happen to have poor and ill-educated parents who could not simply afford to send their children to school. Through scholarship grants, I was able to finish my high school and university education. I graduated top of the class and easily passed my board exams. I was accepted to work in a big firm and worked my way up the corporate ladder.
Looking back at our class pictures, I believe that I am really blessed - I may not be the richest and most successful yet I am really thankful with what I have become. I have worked hard to achieve it. I may not be everything I wanted to be, but at least I can thank God that I'm not what I used to be...
Just continue believing in your abilities - improve and nourish them almost everyday. Have a blessed day.
