Question for discussion: How come most people never become successful?
English is not my native language, but I'll still try to answer your Philosophical question.
All of us in our youth are trying to achieve everything, everyone wants big yachts and a lot of money. Money is simply a tool that makes your life better and this is a means of realizing your desires. All of us in our youth have taken some steps to become successful in this life and to reach the peaks. But life is a natural selection, the best survive. Everyone had his own way, not everyone could bear this burden. Someone gave up, someone had a family and he became responsible for it and he had to put his dreams to the back burner and take care of that to feed her and there was no time and opportunity to make shahs for something more.Then, in old age, you look at the young man who does everything to reach his goal, remember yourself and I think that at these times you want to cry. But people in most cases do not become successful because they are stupid. Let's take a sober look at things, most people are stupid and this is one of the reasons, the second reason is that people are afraid of change. They created for themselves some kind of comfort zone and do not want out of it. I'm an atheist. But if I imagine that I will meet with God, I would tell him that he is a scoundrel and a scoundrel. There is so much horror and injustice in the world. One war, every day thousands of children die from cold and violence. I think that you understand what I mean. And if he created it, then he's a scoundrel and a scoundrel.
