Letter 42

The difference between a rich kid and a poor kid isn't hard to understand.

A rich kid can make many mistakes and still be in the game.

One mistake can knock a poor kid out of the game for good.

It's as if a rich kid gets 100 strikes at the plate, and the poor kid gets one, if they get that.

A rich kid has to work hard at failing, and the odds are against it.

A poor kid has to work hard at succeeding, and the odds are against it.
