Can I add my 2c to that?

I find it disappointing when people a) find excuses for failure instead of
learning from it and b) try to shift blame to some other entity.

Society is what it is. Wanting the rewards from society without wanting to
play by the rules society has set is like wanting candy from a vending machine
with wanting to put some coins in.

Being successful at anything takes a lot of commitment. Blaming failure on
others (or, in this case, society in general) is counterproductive and
probably just a symptom of a lack of commitment.
