One boy will eat a humble breakfast of boiled sweet potatoes or maize flour porridge, go out into the world with a happy go lucky attitude and become a success.
Another will have a full English breakfast, complain about how badly it was prepared, go out into the world sulking and become a useless failure.
Another boy will have a humble breakfast and let the state of his poverty consume his thoughts, crippling him and rendering him incapable of forward movement or achievement.
Yet another boy will have the best breakfast, appreciate it with undying gratitude, go out into the world feeling positive and become great.
The good book tells us in Mark 7:15 and again in Matthew 15:11 that it is not what goes into us but what comes out that is most important.
If you were meant to be great you will be great, whether with little or a lot.
What makes men achieve is something that is intangible and can not be injected or fed into them from the outside. It is something that stems from within. It is known by many names, "guts", "will", "courage", "heart", "chi", "life force" just to mention a few.
Men have been known to achieve great things even with less than desirable nutritional diets.
Overwhelming evidence of such feats can be provided for days on end totally obliterating the old adage that you are what you eat.
We are not what we eat.
