You didn’t tell me anything I had not already figured out. But you did say it in way I had not figured on.

This article articulates the differences between a Conservative ( who invents, spends his time in discipline in producing ) vs The Lazy Liberal who blames all of his misfortunes on some one else who is better off and wants to regulate the inventors, the productive, the disciplined to alevel the playing fleid.

Well Done.

It is true that success typically requires hard work, and lasting success even more so.

But there is such a thing as "chance" (drunk drivers, deciding to read an email later which would have opened a door had you read it immediately, etc.); but these are not usually the *primary* determinant.

OTOH, there is also "good luck" which most often comes by reputation or other people of whom you were unaware, advancing your interests or talking you up.

Cheers!
