I do not deny the fact that there are many successful examples of people who are poorly raised but excel at some areas eventually with honest hard work and continuous endeavors. The contributing factors of those self-made successes are quite obvious: they have a burning desire to change their situations and more willing to strike for a better living with their own hands. In addition, those people are prone to be more mature, independent and tenacious, as they have already used to adversities and they know that they have no choice but to endeavor. Even if they face with failure continuously, they are not likely to feel frustrated and will not give up on their dreams.
On the other hand, people who come from well-off families have more chances to achieve success in a variety of professions. To begin with, they acquire better education and are raised in a better environment, where they can focus on pursuing their dreams without being troubled by humble pockets. They can fulfill their many dreams with financial or material support from their families, like travelling around the globe, studying overseas or even starting their own business. Meanwhile, those who are properly raised and educated are more likely to be extroverted, talkative and social, because they can not only learn from their parents who are already the society's elites, but also have better understanding of and more chance to practice leadership.
It is not right to define a person by their backgrounds, and the world is full of uncertainty, where anyone has chances to excel if they zero in on their dreams and slacken no efforts of trying.
