It&#x27;s 100% possible.<p>You have added a whole load of random obstacles to our average engineer, like making him in poverty, setting him the goal of greatness and suggesting he&#x27;s sick.<p>I&#x27;d agree that he probably need to find a job that pays better, get well and have smaller goals before he succeeds.
