I once told a woman I was dating that her goal in life was unrealistic and she needed to give up on it. I regret it - I still think I was right, but I was also such a jerk!
She wanted to win a Nobel Prize, but the conversation was about a shorter-term goal (getting a professor position) that she took for granted. I told her she would be lucky to receive even one job offer, let alone the multiple offers she expected to choose from.

Say what you want about the tenets of social nationalism, at least they got an ethos.

Roger Moore most certainly did.
