one of the reasons we’re so disillusioned with the economy right now is because, somehow, this idea of “I can be anything I want” is bred into us by our ancestry. And it’s not all bad. It gave me the courage to dream and ideate and step out in life. But it’s also dangerous because, sadly, it’s not true. I can’t be anything I want to be, no matter how hard I work or how much I believe in myself.
