Cryptoquote Solved – 01/13/23

“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go.  They merely determine where you start.”   —   Nido Qubein

(Of course a motivational speaker is going to say something like this.  To an extent it’s true, but it’s also true what Everlast sang in “What It’s Like”:  “You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start.”  Starting from poverty, and in a society that marginalizes poorer folk, it’s an extremely challenging hole to climb out of.  Sure, some have done it successfully.  But the majority get stuck down where they begin.  Life could – and should – be a bit/lot more fair than that.  That being said, this appears to be the first quote from Nido Qubein used for a Cryptoquote.  So, we welcome him to the Cryptoquote Club today.  And yes, I had to look up the last name!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
