Success is almost always directly related to how much work people do on their skills and talents. Nothing was handed to me, and I worked my ass off to get to where I am. You can't just work hard either. Digging a hole and filling it is hard work, but you'll never get paid a lot to do it. You have to work hard at marketable skills instead. This is one reason I encourage my children to do three things life success wise: Learn a profession that pretty much requires you to go to college to get it (lawyer, medical doctor, engineer), learn a trade to go along with your profession (synergy helps like electrical engineer and electronics or electrician), and learn at least a second language (I'm learning Spanish because it helps me a ton as a PI). Most people simply do not want to do the work though to be successful. They want the get rich quick trick, and... Those tricks don't exist. Well said friend about giving this life we have, a real gift if you think about it, the best effort we can! I don't always drive forward, but I'm driving forward way more than I'm sitting idle.
