Readiness >> Fairness

Everyone starts from a different place. Some are born into money, others into strong networks. Some have passports that make travel easy. Others face bias because of how they look, speak, or live. The world isn’t fair—and never was.

But this is also true: while one person struggles, another looks at them and sees advantage. Everyone is ahead of someone and behind someone else. That’s how the world works.

What matters more than a fair start is being ready.

Opportunities come without warning. Those who are prepared—who have done the work—make the most of them. That often makes all the difference.

Fairness isn’t in our control. Readiness is. And that’s what turns chances into change.
