"Self-made man. A "self-made man" or "self-made woman" is a person who was born poor or otherwise disadvantaged, but who achieves economic or other success thanks to their own hard work and ingenuity rather than because of any inherited fortune, family connections, or other privileges."
Basically, it is okay to have help. I really do not believe that anyone can truly do anything in life without some form of assistance. i.e.-I cooked dinner for my family by myself, however, a farmer grew the product making the meal feasible. My grandchildren did their homework by themselves, but not without a #2 pencil that someone else had manufactured.
