Well stated.
Sometimes its better to live on welfare. Not all jobs are worth the money. I imagine certain places offer horrible jobs. But of course, it depends on definition. Not everyone views success same as others.

No, it is not.
It’s asinine, defeatist, victimhood mentality nonsense.

Thesaurus.com says "
- achieve.
- benefit.
- flourish.
- gain.
- get.
- overcome.
- prevail"

How do you define "success"?
It seems you are defining success in strictly financial terms, as if avoiding poverty completely defines success. I think there are other considerations such as health, happiness, love, etc.

Can you formulate that into a bullet point so I can add it in as I did with zedvictor4 's comment?

I think number 6 is unnecessary.
Plus, I would change number 2 with "work hard and save hard". It's not enough to have a job.

Success can be defined in many ways, but with that said doing these 3 things will increase your chances of achieving at what ever you define as success by 100 fold. I define success as not relying on govt for anything other than infrastructure and national defense, which is its intended purpose. It was never intended to pay for your rent food and electricity bill.
