I think Paul Graham is a brilliant programmer. This site coded in Lisp is unbelievable. I'm being honest. One of my current goals is wanting to learn Lisp, and I thank Paul for that. He's a C writer though. (We all can't be good at evertyhing. Personally, I have never met a person from a wealthy upbringing who could write well.) It's too long, and I'm still not sure what he is saying? I can offer this, but it's for ambitious poor/middle class people. Work hard at getting ahead. I worked through school, and got out with a B average. If you are poor getting through college, or starting a business, will not be as easy as the guy who has the wealthy sympathetic father, or mother who sits on the company Board of Directors when they are buying your company. (Easy shot a Bill Gates?) What am I saying? If you are poor, life will be harder. You know it already. You know you can't make too many mistakes early on. You know there will be no one to help when the chips are down. You won't be offered jobs, or perks in life because of your family name. You know you will need to work harder than Biff, or Charles. I did everything I was suspose to do in college. I made every class count, even though I knew most of it was a joke. I then had a nervous breakdown. Looking back, I think I should have concentrated on socializing a bit more. I should have networked more too. In all honestly, I didn't like kids from wealthy families. I found them boring, and unimaginative. Those wealthy kids usually become wealthy adults though, and those connections will be important later on. I still want to upchuck even thinking about using a person to get ahead though.
