That's totally untrue and I don't know how you could have drawn that conclusion from what I said.
I never said or implied that successful people were merely lucky.
You said that most people don't "have what it takes", be that the intellect or whatever....and I disagreed and said that most people do have what it takes, they're just not willing to make the necessary sacrifices or take the necessary risks.
I really don't know why you have it in for me but you've been busting my balls since your first post in this thread and it's totally unwarranted.
Why don't you stop putting words in my mouth and making assumptions about what I do and don't understand about what other people say, and stick to the facts....or in this case, the words that I have written.
FWIW, I don't think that a belief that says "
Most don't have what it takes to make it (genetically)" is empowering, but if you do, then more power to you.
Just stop misquoting me and putting words in my mouth.
