Do your best with what you have

we don't all start in the same place  ~  some have better genes ,  better opportunities ,better family backgrounds ,better economic wealth ......
 When we were born  , the world awaited each of us with its difficulties and opportunities  ~  It's our actions and where they lead that matter in this world  ~  not our excuses of where we started or how little we had  .  Like me ,I was born and grew up in a grassroots family ,my dad was an alcoholic & pathological gambler and I'm dumb , clumsy & have no talent in anything but I'll never ever complain my situation for I know there's always someone with less that did more ,not just in wealth / education / looks but in being a decent human being with a sense of fairness and integrity .
 We must work with what is available . The harsh world doesn't care what little you have or how weak you are ,  you just live or you die with what you have .  Excuses and the pity of others don't get you thru the cold winters of life . You have to push on  ,  not pondering what little you have or how difficult it is  , but to make it work in the situation as it is . The best forces in the world are taught to succeed with a very limited set of resources . 
 As Theodore Roosevelt the twenty-sixth President of the United States said  ~  " Do what you can  with what you have  where you are "
