What a load of BS. I worked 24+ hours a week a Farrell’s Ice Cream during my senior year and never missed a homework assignment. In grad school, I worked 42 hours a week with 16 units of course work each semester. During all the years I attended school, my parents ran the TV or stereo at a high volume level. Sometimes I just had to defer working on my homework until the 10 PM to 2 AM time slot when the noise was gone. I didn’t let that stop me. Losers make excuses.
Right on. No one likes the prospect of having to work hard as well as overcome adversity. I guess the few that manage to overcome will be the only ones who enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Remember the parable of the ant and the grasshopper? The reward for years of hard work will be hordes of grasshoppers claiming the prosperity you worked so hard to attain isn't "fair". It must be seized and redistributed to those who made no effort.
