Here is a fun trick: imagine Bernard Madoff, Kenneth Lay, or George Bush Jr. reading this. All of these people "went somewhere", but I certainly don't aspire to be any of them.
"What if you become a really lousy President of the United States" doesn't strike me as a particularly compelling argument for not trying to go somewhere.
Did George Bush go "somewhere"? Most people by going "somewhere", want to significantly grow from where their parents put them, which includes doing a lot better than their parents. George Bush's Dad was already president before him. Though I guess George Bush Jr. did manage 8 years rather than the 4 years is father did - this is only a modest improvement.
