(23:49) The speaker said: "Some people have a growth mindset where they look at challenges as something that they can overcome, given enough hard work and support from family..."
I have questions about the usage of "given".
Can the sentence be rewritten like this "If some people is given enough hard work and support from family, they can overcome the challenge"?
The rewritten sentence doesn't sound right because I think he meant "If enough hard work and support from family are present, then challenges can be overcome".
What does "given" mean in that sentence? How could the sentence be rewritten?
