      The real truth of it is: Through persistent action and discipline, you can dramatically increase the probability that you can be what you want to be.

      I always use the lottery analogy with my kids: “How many lottery tickets did you get today?”.

      The second part of the truth is: Some people come with a lot more lottery tickets that you, through genetics, income background, family support and, yes, luck. Don’t let that stop you; most don’t and you don’t need to be first to win this race.
