Fortunately you were born under the support of your father telling you that things can be achieved with hard work (my father also teach me that).
In my country Venezuela unfortunately has always been said in sports about everything that "the important in participate in the competition" and I believed this phrase is largely to blame for the problem that my country has as a society.
Do not tell me that I would like to be crazy freneticos obsessed with victory, but to assess each athlete under that conformist premise tends to socially harm the person in my opinion, I understand that it is in Germany at the time of Hittler in the squares sounded music with letters referring to the superior of the German (maybe they exaggerated a bit, but maybe that today is surrendered in their actions and are a world power).
Finally I think that the person who has participated in the contest has not participated much in Steemit and does not know what it is, especially in the adaptation and not ignore the term meritocracy.
(Sorry, my English is also published in Spanish, but it seems to be a lack of respect on my part in a different language than the post)
