It’s not the smart that get ahead, but the bold.

Most people are poor not because they are not smart - most people are poor or struggle financially because they're fearful of losing.

The world is full of smart, poor people.

I am successful because I have always been a tortoise. I did not come from a rich family. I was not smart in school. I did not finish school. I am not particularly talented. Yet, I am far richer than most people simply because I did not stop.
