We can make what other people achieve become a motivation for us so that we can be successful in our own way. Because it's true, there is no guarantee that when we do what other people do and bring them success it will also happen to us. So we have to have our own path, but we can see effort and hard work from other people and make it a motivation.
There is no short path to achieving success, and even if there were, it might only happen in a moment that we don't realize and it might happen because of luck. Indeed, this also requires luck, but don't let us rely on luck being greater than our efforts and hard work.
I think luck will also find a way as long as we can make efforts and work hard and never give up.
This is the type of thing that makes a life better. My mother and father faced some TERRIBLE financial situations up until very recently, and my mother liked making handbags, I think it is knitting and it looks cute to me if you ask me. Anyway, woman do like it, but it doesn't worth much, it costs like maybe maximum 5 dollars to make one, probably cheaper, and she sells for like 15 dollars, not a lot, can't be rich that way.
However, just recently, she got a whooping order of 300 bags and 100 hats (she does hats same way too), which she did not expected. Thankfully, she had a lot of it already at the house, because she knitted them and people did not buy all of it, so she had them, suddenly, that would make it an order for 5000+ dollars, after 4 years of not making even 100 dollars. She hasn't done it yet, but if she can actually close the deal, she will be able to pay so much of our debt, it is going to be great. Wait for these things, it took her 4+ years of this, before she got a good offer.
