Wealth vs. Achievement

Post by Martin Hash » Fri Dec 01, 2017 7:57 am

Anybody can be rich. Take the lowliest beggar and give them a winning lottery ticket, and they'll be a multi-millionaire tomorrow. There are no steps to becoming rich: 10,000s of people try the same thing but only the lucky ones get to be. You can lose your wealth at any time, and when you die, it evaporates.

Achievement is very difficult, and though everyone THINKS the can get it, most can't. Achievement is not primarily luck: there's a list of things to accomplish, and when you're done, you get the credit for achieving. No one can take your achievement from you. When you die, there's a plaque somewhere with your name on it.
