What's Your Problem ?

Many people (when discussing one's socio-economic status) will use example "a)" when describing the reasons behind one's success or failure. In all reality, example "b)" is a more accurate example of the reasons behind one's socio-economic condition. The parts of the equation may vary, as well as their level of importance but not the over-all problem.

Race in itself (regardless of one's condition in America) is not a valid excuse for not having all that one has worked for. The reasons for doing well are a combination of things. The way in which a person or group of people solve(s) their problem is more important than the problem itself.

There is no need for me to go into all of the variables.
The only important issue is;
What's your problem ?
How do you solve it ?
