There is no upper limit to the amount of different ways a person can be disadvantaged. And for a great majority of people and these factors, our possession of them is neither to our credit or our detriment. We neither produced nor refused them, they are simply part of the fabric from which we are cut and the topography of where we must begin our journey. Much more productive than asking, how can we eliminate these disadvantages, of which there is no end, is the question, how can we secure for ourselves those advantages that will sustain us and guide us and help us make the most of who we are and our given moment in history. In other words, how can we make ourselves better and better able to handle ourselves and produce good out of any situation, regardless of what it is?
