Nice story. I never said it can't be done, I just said the odds were about 200,000 to 1. I'm sure if you took the time you could find a few thousand of these stories, but without even trying you could go out of your sheltered existence and find millions that are hurting and will never escape poverty. I know that with the right mind set and a lot of luck, one can get from rags to riches, but the odds are extremely long, and that mind set is extremely hard to come by and the luck even harder. Add to this the current state of the economy and the odds are even stiffer. I used to dream big, but I finally realized the difference between dreams and reality, and reality sucks.

No Med ... YOUR reality sucks.

It's not about "dreams," Med ... its about making one's self valuable to others. It's about discipline. Its about hard work. Its about setting goals, both long range and short range. Its about putting the effort into it before expecting results. Its about staying in school. Its about not having children that you can't, or won't support. Its about self reliance. Its about ethics. Its about honesty both to others and to yourself. Its about supporting the firm you work for. Its about earning a profit for your employer. Its about realizing that we all have only one boss ... the customer. Its about treating other people the way you'd like to be treated. Its about working hard to maintain the freedom to function as a human being.

Please name the forces that are holding anyone back from success in this great country of ours. Thanks ...

Like I said, nice dreams, but reality bites. You can't actually be serious. In a perfect world, this would be true, but life gets in the way. Nice goals, but somehow they never come to fruition. That 1 in 200,000 that can hold the line may make it, but the majority, if they dont have a rich mentor, are headed for mediocrity, with all their dreams intact. The above sounds just like a paragraph out of Ann Rand. I'm pretty sure you are a Randian and for that there is no cure.
