I am just a little fish dragged by the currents of the great whales.

That's the wrong attitude toward life. If you want more influence in the world, strive for it. You probably consider me one of those whales. But my dad was trapping minks to get enough money for food when he was 14. He worked hard enough to get me a good education which ultimately led me here after many years of work. Few people are born with wealth and/or influence and the rules we live under today are often not fair, but the world is not completely static. We can change it for the better if we try.
