Much of the world's moral compass is broken. The moral north reads south and the moral south reads north.
Exposure from a young age to the realities of the world is a super-big thing.
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
