Once again, who is actively preventing you or anyone else from achieving their full potential?

The danger to future generations lies in perpetuating the idea that there is some bare minimum effort that will allow you to be 'comfortable'. Why don't we try teaching kids to be sharks; keep moving forward, keep looking for the next meal, the next opportunity? If we could ingrain that mindset into our culture, we'd be unstoppable.

Changing gears...

Africa has a population of 1.033 billion (*google*)
India has a population of 1.273 billion (*google*)
China has a population of 1.315 billion (*google*)

There's your 3.5 billion. Who's in charge in those places?
