Lincoln was not born in a wealthy or prestigious family. He did not have any special opportunities given to him. He was given a very limited formal education.

Any ordinary person has opportunities that are equal to or better than his. However, he was not an ordinary person-- he took great advantage of the opportunities that he had and created new ones for himself as he went along.
