RE: Coming from nothing.

(edited)

Starting from nothing is a great motivator, because it forces you to act and to learn and adapt. The memory of the early beginnings keep some humble and motivated, while other forget where they started from as they have some successes.

Knowledge is important but more important is to know how to obtain it.

I guess it can also make people arrogant too. Somehow I believe that being overly successful and coming from nothing can make some people overly arrogant. However you're right, on the other hand it can also motivate one to stay humble and appreciative of the journey.

It is possible. I guess it depends on the culture, the people they surround themselves with, etc. I have a perfect example of an arrogant rich in my mind now, but I'd rather not say anything about it since hopefully it would eventually be put to rest.
