another example why hard work doesnt mean shit. Hard work is something thats priceless. its character building. i've worked very hard my entire life, its done more for me than any amount of money can do i believe.

Having land in an ideal and growing area is just lucky. I have a client that is rich because her grandparents owned farm land in Plano (Dallas area) before it developed into a city. Their entire family is rich and didn't earn it.
On the other hand people that work smart and hard tend to get lucky more often than those sitting around doing nothing. Successful entrepreneurs are in the right place at the right time because they were smart enough to steer themselves in that direction.
