If you’re here in America then it’s your patriotic duty to succeed. People died to give you all of this opportunity, to get you this far out in front and it's your duty to take the "ball of freedom and opportunity" and run with it. 

We’re too far away from the hard fought battles of survival and freedom to fully appreciate, and sufficiently protect, what’s been handed over to us by those who created this nation.

That formula for the American dream has worked so well for so long that many of us have stopped using it.  We’re all looking for the “Secret Sauce”, the shortcuts and the workarounds. Guess what? There aren’t any, let that bullshit go, get your ass back on track and start running.
