I've always been an average student throughout college, which resulted in an average job and average wage. I've now reached a point where I can't handle this mediocre life. I want something big to happen, something different, something that just changes my life for the better. However it would be selfish for me to think that way as compared to people who have actually worked really hard throughout school and job to get to where they are now. I'm determined to work harder yet don't see anyone around me who wasn't already successful from the start. Does anyone know someone who achieved success later in life ? Someone who wasn't an A+ student or didn't have any wealth or connections and still became successful ? Does anyone know of a late bloomer success story ?
