You know the saying OP, that no one is a monopoly of knowledge, I believe that the same thing goes for information too because it’s from information we gain knowledge. So, everyone has one or two things to teach or contribute to others in order to help them make better choice, regardless of their present or past financial status. Even those who have been poor and are still poor or somewhere around the middle class still have things to teach others.
You actually made a great point, riches are not the only ones with greater ideas, even most of the poor are very intelligent, sensible and brilliant. Achieving success in life as to do with learning from different kind of people and their responsibilities. Our personalities are different but through that we will gain more experiences from people. Failure is not the end of one's life, in fact it is another great opportunity for a person to start all over again, but some people misunderstood it, and as a result of that they end up giving up on their dreams and interests, risking their life and future as well. And this is actually a big disappointment for your family and also to everyone who believes in you and your abilities. Life is all about making mistakes and correcting them in other to become great and successful in the future.
