It's not that I have a bleak view of the world. I don't. But the context is such: "Uncle Jack, you should go and put out paid ads and make shock value content on YouTube, you'd be so successful!" "Look how much attention these physiognomy people are getting now!" Etc. I love the sentiment. But I was born a nobody, in what I call the glorious armpit of the world - and my destiny, like many others, was to just roll over and die. To literally not make it. The only toys I had as a child were the shadows dancing on the walls of my family's hovel. No electricity, very little food, no warmth in winter time. I have been no one and nothing for since I can remember. I had to dig myself out of a blind man's labyrinth, on loop, over and over again - and keep myself sane in the process. Most of my peers are either dead or in prison. To educate myself, I had to teach myself two languages - and master them individually. Just to be here and to be able to enlighten, educate and share in what little way I can. I've climbed out of a tomb to be where I am now, this I can excuse myself from not caring about owning the field of green I now get to sit on. I am already successful - because I am alive. I've already been the David to my goliath. I've already made it - everything else is just an added blessing. That's my mentality. I've never stolen from, disgraced or dishonoured others on the warpath that has been this journey. I've earned my seat at the table of life. Earnestly, I tell you - to me, I am the most successful person I know.
