Come on kid! Pick yourself up by your bootstraps and go make something of yourself like I did. Nothing's going to happen if you keep laying around just starving to death.
Africa has a high mortality rate but the kids that live are robust mother f'er, which is good for that environment.

And you want to go screw everything up be giving starving children food.

If you don't like where you're at in life, go make something of yourself. The only one holding you back is YOU.
When the public stops believing this is possible (regardless of whether it is or isn't) big problems result.

It is in the interest of the "haves" to foster the idea that it is possible (again, whether that is actually true or not).

Merely saying "go get it" does not tend to resonate for a public that has become skeptical.
