You should be proud of him because of what he said. I know a lot of people that says the same but what they say will just before the "and" part. I live in a third world country and I knew a lot of people that do things without any risks and always trying to be on the safe side. I can understand some of them because there are also some limitations of what can be done on their situations.

Most of them though, they are not risking anything because they are already comfortable of what they are doing or earning. They are already stopping like they already found the goal in their lives, and take note, most of them is not that old to boot. They still have time to risk, most of them already have family but still spend most of their money with alcohol and cigarettes. The most annoying though is that they are earning one step above minimum and thinking they will be rich without doing anything else.
