Giving the benefit of the doubt...

Maybe it's not entirely there fault. There is a just reason for the lack of drive. In life when you're constantly told "you can't" or "you're not good enough", you start to believe it. Then after awhile you give up on trying to change people's opinions. But that is still no excuse. If someone is constantly saying you can't do it, and have the motivation and obligation to prove them wrong and say "watch me do it".
