I'll bet that optimism is another trait shared by those who actually make it. ;)



Well people like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates either directly or indirectly disagree with your assessment. At first I thought you were simply being wide-eyed optimistic. However, now it actually seems insulting that you just seem to hand wave around and assume the traits people have who "make it".


don't take me wrong here. sometimes I tend to hyperbolize my own statements to cross sell what I believe in. you're right. My point is, I try to avoid negativity all around (thoughts, people, environments, etc...) in order to achieve my own goals. That as been working for me so far. I haven't "make it" yet, but I'll do someday. What do you think about that?

I should read more about Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.
