What those who describe themselves as strivers fail to acknowledge is the amount of good fortune in their lives.
Whether it's being born into wealth, free education, buying a house decades ago, good health etc.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
