I have never said they could or would. Everyone is a product of "their own" decision-making and work ethic. Those who think that Providence is going to pay them a visit with a bag full of success and an endless supply of money are sadly mistaken. Once you do have money and some success you still have to work hard to build on it and keep it. I've had some kind of job since I was ten years old. I've never had a free ride. When I was out of High School I worked during the day and went to school at night. After a while working becomes a way of life, a daily need, like working out. A day off to me was like a waste of time. Now, I know that isn't normal but it was for me. I got to where I am today by doing more than my job required. The management of my company recognized this and gave me more work, More responsibility and compensation came with it until after some years I was given a partnership in the company which I retain today. I don't say this to blow my own horn but to emphasize the need to work hard if you expect to have success. Many levels of success exist for different people, but none of them are gained without a personal commitment to hard work.You believe that everyone has the same potential and that success or failure is solely a choice.
That’s an ideal, not a reality. I assume you went to school at some point with people of different talents and abilities. Why does it escape you that not everyone will attain the success you have?
So, what about the masses who do not want to work but want a decent lifestyle? I say dream on and enjoy the rut you've dug for yourself.
