There are always excuses, and even
reasons not to be a success; but here's the point:
If SB Fuller could achieve success -- even megasuccess -- then neither racial discrimination, nor disadvantage, nor poverty, nor lack of education, nor lack of resources, nor hard economic times, can ultimately hinder you if you take charge of your own life and diligently do the right things.
ABSOLUTELY... If anyone had a reason to whine it would have been him. Yet I never hear these people whining. I meet a lot of old black people from the South who don't whine. They're just happy to see things different. I think of my parents who came hear with nothing and made it. They make me feel guilty for whining, which I find myself doing sometimes.
