It is pretty simple. Those who have wealth and power like it and generally want more.
Those who don't would like to be part of that group.
Most of us never will but the idea that we might is a great motivator for many.
Its one of the reasons so many Americans will support things that do them absolutely no good.
They are betting on winning.
Everyone knows that most people are going to live ordinary lives, but each person thinks he or she is the exception.
We start telling children very early on that they can be anything, even though in most cases they can't.
The myth is perpetuated by the fact that the very few who succeed tend to relate those stories and write memoirs. The very many who fail don't.
So yes, maybe the odds are one in a million, but why can't you be the one?
