About This Quote

As you rise in the ranks, people tend to envy your newfound fame. They may even envy your wealth, or your status. But most can’t comprehend how you got to be so successful. When they see you emerge from humble beginnings, they underestimate your authenticity because they knew you before you were 'somebody'.

This might be true of people who are not really close to you, but it's also true of many of the people that are closest to you. You may be tempted to think that your success was mostly your doing; that your humble beginnings don't matter at all. But the truth is that the people who love and admire you now would have loved and admired you regardless of where you started out.
