I like your articles to some extent. They are very noble. But the examples you use of success are extremely rare! There's only so much room for people to reach the top of their game. If it wasn't so, Hollywood would be full of Arnies.

Where a tiny proportion of actors succeed by thinking right and working hard, most don't. And many actors, especially in the UK, make it because they come from privilege, so they get into the top schools with amazing facilities. Eton has its own theatre and well known director. Most who make it to RADA do so from private education.

Most people make the 'compromises' that you talk about because they don't have access to the mechanisms that will get them their dreams, or have financial commitments that don't wait for people to think themselves out of poverty.
