Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where they are now. And it's because they sat there that they were able to do it.

Hell maybe there's not a lot of opportunity, but find what there is. Not a lot of hope for inner city kids to go to Harvard but some make it. Some just have simply no desire to do anything else. It always saddens me to see a child know that they will enter a menial labor job and have no problem with it unless their family owns the business. Not to say that everyone is above the work, but I've lived in areas like that and nobody really has any drive.
