"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, ...Sir Winston Churchill

Cold consolation when you aimed for it. The reality is life never follows a Hollywood script (where adversity conquered, the bad guy dispatched and the girl got) all in 90 minutes plus trailers.

Life is seldom revealed to us looking forward, we see its lessons as we look back. As Thomas Eddison famously lamented;

'I haven't failed, I just found 10,000 ways that didn't work.'

You will work your way around it and when committed to a course usually providence will move with you! With more failures than I care to recall, my experience is that I have seen many educated, wealthy (usually chose their parents well) and seemingly talented people fail.

The defining characteristic isn't privilege or luck it is almost always persistence.
