It doesn’t matter how hard you work if you live in a dictatorship. Or if you never had a good breakfast before math in primary school. Of if half of your waking hours are spent commuting in dilapidated busses packed with people.

These are in reality the hardest working people; every waking hour can be challenge if you are poor.
