Luck is also a huge factor to take into consideration. I'm from a country where poverty rates have been going through the roof for years now, and while I see a lot of determined and hardworking individuals around who certainly deserve better than what they've been getting, the reality is, not everyone can rise up to the Fortune 500 level without lady luck on their side. It's good to know, though, that there are stories like the ones mentioned that show that it is possible and that you don't always need to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth to succeed.

People that start with nothing have to work twice as hard to get were they want to be, but I'd they're willing to try, then I don't think anything is unachievable.
