Personal Development
Keith says during the interview " It's so crucial to recognize that we have to work hard with whatever gifts or acumen you have." It's something I like using when training / facilitating: work with what you have, not with what you don't have.
His story also shows that you don't have to be born into the 'right' family or community to make it in life. It's about your personal resolve to be an achiever - whatever achievement means for you.
Would love to hear more thoughts from other readers!
