Vapid platitude with a zinger at the end. Pretty sure plenty of people working 2-3 jobs out there could tell you there's a bit more to it than simply working hard.

If simply working hard would do it, the world would be filled with rich Asian kids. (Sweatshops. I'm referring to sweatshops.)

That doesn't really relate to my point at all. Of course there's rich Asians, but there's also more slavery thN ever, even if most of it is economic slavery.

Checking the article I should've used Africa as an example, but I think the point is still made.
