For those who don’t know, this phrase has come full circle.
It started as something literally impossible. Then people started using it to say they did it anyway. Expecting what is supposed to be impossible out of people is insane.
in a way we can view it as a term to mean “LYING” about how you succeeded. How did you get so in shape for your role? Clean diet and exercise. How did you make your first million? Pulling myself into the air by my bootstraps.

Yeah, it’s like when people say they just gave 110%. Cool, very quippy, but really, what did you do?
Performance enhancing drugs? 🤷♂️
Sadist laguage.
I’m sure it was only a few bad apples that started that.

It’s literally a joke rich people use to show how stupid poor people are.
Horse and sparrow theory?
Then just walk in, demand to see the Big Boss, say Good Morning Sir, and ask for the job!
