I'm doubly wary of unsuccessful people telling me it's (nearly) impossible to be successful. Can't never could.

- mbg721 4y agoThere are plenty of people known for being successful who were previously not-very-successful at something else. You hear about the thing that worked.
- xeromal 4y agoYou need to look at it statistically though. Many more have failed than succeeded and while not exactly the same, your argument could be used for someone wanting to be a FIFA or NFL athlete. Sure, some succeed, but many don't. Same with the million-dollar business idea.
- yowlingcat 4y agoThere's a lot more room for multi-million (maybe even billion) dollar businesses than there is room for professional footballers. They aren't even in the same, err, football field.
- burntoutfire 4y agoI'm not really sure it's true for the billion businesses. How many billion+ businesses were cretated in the past 100 years? Maybe 10,000? And how many people played in the NFL during last 100 years? The Internet says it 23,204. And that's just football, if you compare across all high paying pro sports, then number must be in hundreds of thousands.
