Wow! I couldn't disagree more! Ever lived in a third-world country in war times?? Like Syria, Yemen, or North Korea! Most people there don't have many choices!

Will you think of changing the world or yourself when you have hungry children waiting for you to put food on the table!

I bet you don’t know how's that like...I lived in Syria for most of my life...

You're always running to provide what most people see as basics!

You wanna know why most people there can't achieve greatness??

In Syria, if you're not of the lucky 1%

• You can only have 1kg of bread a day and you need to wait about 3 hours to get it...

• Do you need to cook? You can only get 1 propane tank every 2 months!!

• You need to fuel your car!?? You can only get 20 liters each week!

• You will have 6 hours of electricity a day if you're lucky!

• You could stay in jail for years for no reason!!

• With an average income of 40$ a month

For all I know you, YES you need luck! You're already a million steps ahead not being born in a country like Syria...

Don't talk to me about “achieving greatness” from a 2000$ Macbook.

You know nothing about how hard someone's life can be...
