What happened to ambition?
What happened to these teachers who used to tell you that you can be anything you want to be, as long as you work hard and keep going and don't give up? What happened to these parents who used to push their children to go further and higher than they ever got in their lives, which made you almost hate them when you were a teenager but love them even more when you looked back and understood why they did it? What happened to the economy that should favour the brave and the imaginative? What happened to people taking their lives into their own hands and pushing it until it's going in the right direction?
