I'd love to agree with you and rewarding work is very important, but in our current society outcomes seem mostly determined by starting conditions.
People born into poor household that cannot offer good parenting & education are expected to "work way harder" to achieve a similarly happy life than people who spawned lucky. That's fine to some degree, but should be kept under control. Once enough people feel the system isn't fair and rigged against them will they burn it to the ground.
