“It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.”

The quote above is attributed to Seneca the Younger, an ancient Roman philosopher whose death was recorded in 65 AD in Rome, Italy.

The photo and the quote say it all, unless one is a nepo baby who does not need to walk and suffer the sharp bumps on a career’s rough road because s/he has an express elevator to the top.
