In short, its a mindset thing, as that's where the seed for chang is planted. When I was growing up in a poor area, I had to carve out a space to imagine the possible while being surrounded by people who had no image in their minds of something like that.

I did recognize the same in a handful of others who refused to let their current circumstances define them, thus we grew together and supported each other in order to find a way out.

So I think that's important too. The act of surrounding yourself with the right people is one of the keys to reaching your goals, and that's one of the reasons I'm here. :)
