Yes, rjona1. Success does depend on circumstances beyond your control. But what is behind having a desire to be a millioaire in the first place. In reality, the more you have the more freedom you lose. I mean, you have to work at holding onto that million. Right? Is it greed that makes ones want to become a millionaire. Will he or she be more loved. Willl there be more friends? So, how much do we need to live a fulfilled life and have financial freedom? Is it true, that the richer you are the more you have to worry about? I think so. You memtioned Bill Gates. I suppose he has to depend on security cameras and officers to protect him day and night. What a miserable way to live. But yes, I believe Bill was at the right place and at the right time and he had opportunity and all the attributes to plug away at developing microsoft and contribute to the world. I praise him for having the self-discipline to make the sacrafices that he made. And I praise his parents for teaching him the value of an education and making him study first before play. Im just guessing he was raised by his natural parents. I don't know. But I do know that Ex-President Obama had a Mother who made him get up 3 hours before he went to school and practice on his English grammar and speaking. Everyday! How many Mothers could do that? Not many, because Mothers have to get their rest and punch a time clock. Thanks for your input.
