I'll tell you something else that I've learned about life.
Some people are worker bees and some people are leaders. That's just the way it is.
There are certain people who just rise to the top in life. Doesn't matter where they start out at. I'm not talking about the handful of exceptions like a Kim Kardashian type who becomes filthy rich because of our societal infatuation with stupid shit...or the handful of heirs like Paris Hilton.
I'm talking about the vast majority.
Look at Steve Jobs. He didn't come from a rich family. But there was no way that guy wasn't gonna rise to the top.
A lot of people who complain that the system is stacked against them just don't have the personality type to beat that system. I see it everyday in every way.
That same person who does just enough at work to "get by" is NEVER gonna keep up with that guy who is dedicated, loves his work, and puts in long hours.
And long hours aren't all it takes.
I know guys working 3 jobs and barely getting by.
They just don't have the intelligence and foresight to work for themselves. They are worker bees.
No amount of taxing and govt. legislation will change who and what they are.
