Here's how one can succeed:
- Be born into a rich family
- Have friends in high places (ideally rich friends)
I know it's kinda sarcastic, but that is the truth. Being successful is not an exact science.
For the odd 'regular' person becoming successful, it's usually luck. They might have worked really hard enough to deserve it, but it's likely luck that got them to where they are.
- wouldbecouldbe 3y agoYeah that's a bit too cynic. Social mobility has been a long researched and debated topic. In most EU countries it's pretty high nowadays. You can check the social mobility of a society and compare those: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Social_Mobility_Index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Social_Mobility_Index
- loveparade 3y agoI think your definition of success is just different. If you define success as moving upwards and having a very comfortable life, I agree with you. But if you define success as becoming super-rich with your startup and investing, that's mostly what the poster above you says.
- dauertewigkeit 3y agoThis is measuring something different. If you want to become rich, the US is still the land of opportunity. In Europe, once you max out on education and try to climb higher, you start hitting glass ceilings and those glass ceilings are far lower than in the US.
- wouldbecouldbe 3y agoit depends on what your measure of rich is, a euro millionaire is pretty easy here. Maybe a Billionaire is less common. But that's probably a good thing.
