Many people graduate from law school and end up broke. Then, there are people that drop out of high school and make millions by starting their own business. The difference?
Accepting your circumstances.
Although this guy complains about working at Kmart, I wonder what he’s doing to change his circumstances? Probably nothing. Whether he’s conscious of it or not, he has accepted his lot in life. If he realized that dropping out of college was a mistake, why doesn’t he go back? If he’s broke, he could get a personal MBA, which is the process of obtaining the experiences of a higher education without the university or the bills that come with it.
I understand that some people are given a leg up in this world, and others start way behind. However, there are numerous examples of people pulling themselves up by the boot straps and making something of themselves. Stop making excuses! The bottom line is there is an excuse available if you need one. If you don’t want to put in the work necessary to do something great, feel free to draw from the Excuse Hat.
Excuses are free, but very costly.

A new for-profit private school in New York City is planning a network of campuses around the world and a global curriculum where Spanish and Mandarin are taught from nursery school on up.
Unlike its competitors, whose brands are based on tradition and pedigree, the new kid on the block is a for-profit venture with plans to open a global network of sister schools around the world — including outposts in Shanghai and Sao Paulo.
More than 2,000 students have already applied to Avenues: The World School — double the number of available spots in the nursery through ninth-grade program.
