@kyriacos - I agree. It is very easy to 'find' reasons of one's success in hindsight. In hindsight, everything that the successful person did seems to 'contribute to success'. In reality, many times, two people with exactly the same strategy, effort and capability may come up with different outcomes just because of one of them was at the right time and right place due to his/her luck.
If being a millionaire was something people could learn by reading books, there would have been millionaires dime a dozen.

well, I would say that reading books only give you past insights of the particular author who wrote the books. Tactics and strategies to employ to get "rich" differs from person to person and they don't always situate OUR circumstances and situation. Let me give you an example:
I can go on and on, but you get what I mean.
We all have different attributes and personality that allows us to convert our "power" to money. Many of us also require a lot of time to unlock our "power" through various stages of our lives. The earlier we discover our potential, the faster we can "capitalize" on our abilities.
A wrong situation, a wrong timing, a wrong decision might set us off on a different path so we'll never discover our "power."
That's where "luck" plays a role.
Then again, money is just a medium of exchange. What's the use of becoming a millionaire when there's no services or goods to purchase.
Just a thought. :D
exactly.
