Whats in a name?

A word about the title of this blog. I’ve long had the view (in sympathy with social structuralism theories I believe), that good things come to those who already have, or at least have the means of self perpetuating. Ambition and self belief are allied to life chances and experience which is fundamentally tied to social opportunities – not surprising that doctors begat doctors; traffic wardens, traffic wardens (I’m being generous and assuming they are part of society!). The flipside of ambition and self belief is of course INDOLENCE and SELF DOUBT. A constant companion of mine from the ghetto. So, hence the title.
