But maybe thats not the only problem here.  What about education? I saw you mention somewhere else that you dont care much for formal schooling - you just focus on making money.  Frankly that comment struck me as misguided.  Seems like something only someone without much education would say.  So could that be part of the problem in your country? Like, people dont get enough general education or training?

Im just thinking out loud and  it is probably more complicated than that.  There is likely bigger forces at work shaping how hard people work and what opportunities they have.  But education seems like one piece of the puzzle that we shouldnt ignore.  An educated population tends to contribute more to an economy overall.  What do you think - does lack of education play any role here, or is it almost all down to each persons character and initiative? Curious to hear what you think.
