The average person with a good life, e.g good family, good education, good friends, living in an educated country, and is psychologically healthy can with effort learn, and become almost anything or at least lots of things (job wise), for example, learning to draw, becoming good at mathematics, good at sports, becoming a doctor, lawyer, scientist etc. (Not all at once of course)
No, I don't agree with that statement at all. If your parents are poor, you stand a much bigger chance of ending up in the same country. Even where they don't charge for higher education. You still need a place to bunk, some cloths and something to eat, while you're not productive. That's something poor families can't provide.
That's not me saying it, that's based on statistics. Chances of getting one over your parents if they aren't at least middle class, are extremely slim.
