Hard work has its limits... The old Asian mentality was useful when we lived in a society where Asian immigrants had few choices, took lousy jobs, and aspired to have white collared kids.
Now everyone has some sort of post secondary education and white collar work is no guarantor of success. I mean doctors and lawyers don't make enough money these days on their own to buy that coveted detached house in Vancouver. These days, hard work is not enough: you have to have some luck, good genes (so you can attract a successful partner), and be willing to take calculated risks to make it.
