How Ordinary People Can Make a Comeback

In short, don’t set your expectations too high. Follow a steady, step-by-step approach and avoid various traps (gambling, drug use, fraud, etc.). First, maintain your own life and well-being—that’s already sufficient. Then, make a good impression on others, including the people around you (“build trust points”). When opportunities arise, having kept yourself out of trouble is what preserves your “cost of entry,” making it more likely someone will think of you when a good opportunity comes along. Whether you can actually seize that opportunity depends on whether you’ve accumulated useful experience and skills beforehand. So, keep learning, stay disciplined, avoid pitfalls, and maintain a good reputation—that’s all you can do.
