There are people that are blinded by the obstacles, and their sob stories, and excuses: oh, I’m not that smart. I don’t have money. I’m lazy. My family sucks. It stops them. 

There are people driven by their ambitions. All they see are the possibilities. The realities that could be. The obstacles - what obstacles? Excuses are an unworthy trade. Sob stories? They’re just the beginning of the fairy tale, the epic saga, which makes the end, the happily ever after, even more incredible.
