I&#x27;m sorry.  You have it wrong.<p>Genocide isn&#x27;t a motivation to bust your ass.  Genocide is what placed my grandparents and those of many into abject poverty.  Their day-to-day motivator wasn&#x27;t &quot;well, this is better than being in an unmarked grave&quot;.  That wasn&#x27;t even in their radar.  As in, not at all.  Saying &quot;never again&quot; doesn&#x27;t mean you are going to drown to swim out to a buoy.<p>Genocide doesn&#x27;t turn someone into a risk taker.  That&#x27;s a preposterous idea.  I couldn&#x27;t even imagine my grandparents saying &quot;well, I am going to go all out on this because I could have died in the Genocide&quot;.  It sounds silly just to say it.<p>No, their motivation was to improve their lives and provide for their families.  And lacking the command of the language or much of an education they concluded the best bet was to try to start some kind of a business, any business.  And that&#x27;s what they did.
