I suppose it's because some of the people whom I'm closest to are the same ones who had the unlucky breaks.
I honestly wonder how much I can attribute to myself. I've always been interested in learning, math, logic, understanding... but why was I interested in the first place? I was born with the gift of natural curiosity... and that was one of my earliest and most profound strokes of good fortune.
When I question whether I can even take credit for my drive to succeed, it really calls into question what I can take credit for at all.
