Here is the thing just the location of your birth dictates most of what you can hope to achieve in life. Hard work or not. Just being born in a rich neighbourhood in San Francisco or a poor one in Sri Lanka makes a world of difference from the get go.

That's not really the thing. First, people immigrate from one country to another all the time. Not to mention you can move around freely within a country. Most people in San Francisco are not from San Francisco (people from San Francisco are pretty upset about it). Second, people are successful and have good lives outside of San Francisco.

That is certainly true, but realization of that fact won't help you in your life at all. There are infinitely many statements that are true but unhelpful. However finding some motivation and lessons from success stories can help you whether you are tending a tea plantation or a web startup.
