Not true, many people don't work in this world, they own property and the means of production, so they just sit back and watch other people work.

Well then you are either rich or intelligent. I am neither. I am sure you will be a success and won't fall into the trap that I have. I didn't think this way when I was 18 either. My mind was poisoned by people telling me that I could do anything, be anything, and enjoy life.

Maybe my experience is a singular one, and everyone else here is wildly successful, working at a job they love, not denying health benefits to a man with brain cancer, living with a hot spouse who doesn't gain 100 pounds after having a child, then cheating on you with someone from your office, divorcing you, suing you for child support for a child that probably isn't even yours but because it was born during the marriage it doesn't matter, getting audited by the IRS, losing a lot of money in bad investments, then developing prostrate cancer and dying because your employer, a health insurance company, doesn't provide you with an adequate level of health insurance.

Good luck with everything. If things don't work out, well, maybe it's because you didn't try hard enough.

Look, I'm not trying to change your views, I really do hope you succeed, all I can speak from is my own personal experience, and I have not succeeded, I have failed miserably. I just wish I had been better psychologically prepared for it.

I mean, you must admit that not everyone is going to be a success, right? By telling everyone they can do anything you're just setting these people up for disappointment. Why would you want to be so cruel? Would you tell a midget he could play professional basketball if only he worked harder, or was a better person? That sounds really cruel to me, and it's not something I would condone.
