Earlier this semester we learned that we only rely on ourselves for 15 % of the time... maybe. This to me is very sad. We get picked where to go to college, we choose what classes to take, but someone tells us what we have to take anyways. We are chosen where we live (the salary that we achieve.) We don't even choose who we grow up with since they are put into the same school as us.
So who is the other? The other is many people and things. It's the administrators of our university. The professors of our classes. The parents and grandparents in our family. They control who we are and what we do with our life. This could be good and bad. If we are raised in a loving caring family who tells us to go for our dreams and pushes us to do our best, this is considered good. The professors who help us out and explain things, that is also beneficial. But the parents that don't care and let the children do what they please is not very good. The professors who don't explain things and tell us to learn for ourselves, that can lead down a bad path.
In order to surpass the other we have to finish schooling and become leaders of what we establish. This can happen 3 years from now or 25 years from now. The only people that we can really depend on is ourselves.
