to help me, and I couldn’t find a good job. I soon learned that
most people start off in the same boat. Most people try and fail at
a lot of things before they find the right situation for their talents
and abilities.
The fact is that everything you ever achieve you are going to
have to do 
yourself
. No one is going to do it for you. But if you keep
learning and growing, trying lots of things, you will eventually get
the breaks. Everyone does. Just remember that opportunities are
like a fumble in a football game. If you don’t personally pick up the
ball and run with it, it just lies there and has no effect on the score.
When you get your chance, take action on it immediately.
