Quotable Quotes: Henry Rollins, part 2

I wanted to revisit last week's short Henry Rollins clip where he says:

"Young person: you'll find in your life, that sometimes your great ambitions will be momentarily stymied, thwarted, marginalized, by those who were perhaps luckier, come from money, where more doors opened, where college was a given. It was not a student loan, it was something that dad paid for, to where an ease and confidence in life was almost a birthright, where for you, it was a very hard climb. You cannot let these people make you feel that you in any way have been dwarfed or outclassed. You must really go for your own and realize how short life is. You got what you got, so you got to make the most of it. You really can't spend a whole lot of time worrying about his. You really have to go for your own."

These words are powerful and a good reminder that there is always someone out there who is luckier in one or more aspects of their life, compared to you. So what? Go make the most of what you've got, and focus on yourself!
