Take the recent transformations that occured in Columbia and Singapore - two countries that were completely abandoned and seemingly destined to fail suddenly rose up out of the ashes and are thriving now. Columbia went from having some of the most dangerous neighborhoods (due to drug wars and gun violence) is now a thriving place filled with hopeful individuals.
Never give up hope. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, and more often than not, it's just a bend away.
