Social stratification stiffens, but individuals never do

You always see someone, or a few people, in this era, who through their own efforts, achieved financial freedom and moved up to another class.

But those who change their lives are always the minority, even an extreme minority — people who don't judge the world by conventional experience. Instead, they read, they learn, they progress, they transform.

May you become one of them.
