Except for a lot of americans: you can be the hardest working magnifying glass, magnify the sun's rays for 12-16 hours a day for years, and still fail to start that fire. In the end, everyone will say you're just lazy and don't work hard because the ends define the means.

Hard work isn't worth it anymore.

This shit is lacking the confidence our system had more than 15 years ago, back when people could just stick it out and everything would work out fine...
