"drive to succeed" also doesn't really have any bearing on success capitalism necessitates the existence of an exploited underclass to function. if everyone were skilled and driven to succeed, there wouldn't be more successful people; there would just be a lot more unsuccessful people who are also skilled and driven. it's functionally a gigantic pyramid scheme. whether or not "anyone" can succeed is irrelevant -- "everyone" can't. the system cannot sustain that wow You know, there are two types of people in this world Those with an intrinsic motivation and those with extrinsic If you want to correlate success, intrinsic folks are usually the most successful. You are clearly extrinsic. Extrinsic people take zero accountability. The universe "happens" to them. They are a bystander. Intrinsic people "make" things happen. Hawking was very intrinsic. He drove his success. Extrinsic people succeed only through chance and lottery. Otherwise they wait for good things to happen and usually die in the process, cursing others who succeeded the whole time. --- Pit doc <cite>NightingaleMD posted [p:962532363] in Self-made ...
