People don't support losers. It is just survival. No one will stick their necks out and support a loser for fear of being drag down with them. You need to man up and stand on your own two feet. Show the world there is potential in you and that you might win. As long as you can win, support will come flooding in even if you don't need it.

Success has many fathers, failure is an orphan. Happy foxes and sad sacks. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world. This is how the world has always been and always will be.
