This was the way it was during the period just prior to Hitler in Nazi Germany. Funny how one dictator can revive an economy whilst another can completely decimate it. Absolute power, it's a crap shoot.AussieReaper wrote:

Umm, the value of the dollar changes every second, and from zip code to zip code... it's never static.

What ever the hell does that Have to do with hard work ? Except if Governments weren't corrupt, that wouldn't happen.AussieReaper wrote:

It is sad that you would admit you have no idea and make a conclusion anyway. Have fun in Chemistry Lab !AussieReaper wrote:

If so, you've got problems H/J.Oh, and btw - the caption to that pic was:It was a attempt at slur, Even Poseidon knew that and responded, so you know it had to be pretty obvious. So step off.
A well nourished Sudanese man steals maize from a starving child during a food distribution at the feeding center at Ajiep.
I'm sure some hard work would have really helped in that situation though.
Can't wait for Government run Healthcare.

I have to say, One of my earliest childhood memories was of our church ( f*ckin Christians ! ) raising money for African victims of Famine as they do now. I have the suspicion that my grandchildren will be doing the same thing.Dilbert_X wrote:
But from the perspective of the child luck is a very large factor.
Can you imagine if I said something like this, what your response would be ? JeezJohnG@lt wrote:
Also, I fail to see why it's at all relevant to the topic at hand. Did I dismiss luck out of hand? No. Would it be unlucky to be born to an African family? Absolutely. I'd probably kill my father for not castrating himself prior to my birth
Would you have us believe the Firm that hired you didn't think " the majority that join are retards that would have no shot at anything but the welfare line in the real world. " ?JohnG@lt wrote:
It's not a family firm, it's quite large. My friends father retired as a partner and I got the interview through him but I won the job on my own merits (my military service did wonders)cpt.fass1 wrote:
I just hope it's not a family firm. But did you get the job through anyone you know, is it an Internship or just based off your degree?
I am happy that you are in a firm.

It's not being lucky, or being born into the right family (though that helps cover up deficiencies to an extent). It's not being born a genius or a retard. No, the secret to success is... surprise! Hard work. It takes approximately 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert at anything. Bobby Fischer? 10,000 hours playing chess before he became the youngest Grandmaster in history. Bill Gates? 10,000 of programming experience before he even reached Harvard.
Why do I mention this? Because I'm sick and tired of reading on this forum about conspiracy theories regarding the rich or seeing people publish replies based on some ridiculous assumption that they only became wealthy due to luck. Sorry, luck has very little to do with anything.
