Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5472435 You mean as you are currently choking with your own vile coming out of your mouth due to the envy you have? Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1550123 United States 12/28/2012 12:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How rich and how poor? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27627548 How did you go from poor to rich and vice versa? Whats the new plan, or is it just supreme confidence in your ability? Did you grow up poor or rich? Excellent questions. 1) I grew up middle class, son of engineer and teacher parents. 2) I paid my own way through college but ended up dropping out and doing stuff completely unrelated to my degree. Later in life in got my Masters and PhD as a sort of hobby. 3) I have been self-employed since I was 16. 4) I didn't get "rich" until the 1990's during the tech boom. 5) Divorce cost me basically everything. Whatever I had left got embezzled by my ex business partner. 6) Went to work for other people for about 7 years, totally wasting my life and treading water financially. 7) Started an endeavor with a dear friend, and it's about to pay off hugely. Congrats!! |

Quoting: Artlicious I have yet to start that endeavor but hopefully I will find the right partner one of these days and we will both become successful and rich! :) That's the spirit! And in my experience, there is no magic bullet. Not even sheer skill and total dedication is any guarantee of success. Look at Tesla, poor dude basically invented electricity but died broke and alone. He got taken advantage by others like Edison. Watch your back at all times. |

I am unable to feel envy, I can only feel frustration with my self when I don't reach the goals I wish to achieve. I am certainly happy that any good person does good in life, the day that doesn't happen our world will be certainly in a sad state of affairs.

If not higher IQs, then more successful and/or stronger in areas you are weak in. You should be able to find plenty of them. The planet is literally full of people you could choose from. In my case, it's been exceptionally difficult. |
