Do we live in a perfect meritocracy?

Personal DevelopmentBy Gary AcostaFebruary 25, 2023

I teach my kids that they can do anything if they put their minds to it and do the work. I also teach them that life isn’t always fair, but you can’t let that deter you. I think we all try to teach our kids the value of grit and hard work. For most people, success is about perseverance and overcoming obstacles.
