  1. kilaz lesliet The Beverly Hillbillies didn't get rich by working hard. They got rich because they struck oil. Hard work is overrated.

  2. USA Clan Mark Cuban seems to believe that everybody has enough money to start a business without taking out a loan. He's so rich that he's lost touch with the reality of being poor, I'm afraid.

  3. kilaz lesliet LOL. Some of them do. Besides all that, people who tell you to value hard work are morons. It actually depends on the occupation you choose. If you work toward an occupation that pays good or find a way to become self-employed then good. But people who tell you that hard work is the key to success are morons. The hardest workers in America are the farmers and the ranchers and they don't make hardly any money. There's just something about a rich guy who works less hard than a farmer or blue collar person telling people that hard work is the only key to success that rubs me the wrong way.

  4. Be prepared for rejection. This is obvious. As an aspiring author I realize that you have to get between 10 to 500 rejection letters or more before a publisher with a brain recognizes your genius.

  5. I applaud you for taking a complex problem and making it simple, the way a small minded fool often does.

  6. kilaz lesliet The only place you really need to work hard is in college. Even then it's a pain in the ass if you hit a bump along the road that forces you to drop out or get a part time job while you're in school. Life is shitty. That's life.

  8. I don't mean to sound rude, but saying that grades don't determine intelligence sounds like an excuse of somebody who wasn't able to prove they were book smart.

  11. kilaz lesliet Unfortunately for you, education and career are the two most important things. If you fail at either you bring shame upon your family. It's a competition. If you're not #1 you've lost the game. My aunt is Korean and my uncle graduated 2nd in his class from law school. My aunt still thinks he should have been 1st in his class. I guess #2 isn't good enough.

  12. I got a C in Calculus in back college and had a panic attack. I'm too smart to let anything like that happen again.

  13. +Kyle Thompson Billionaires don't have a right to complain. They're billionaires! What do they have to complain about? Their hangnails? Rich people are sissies. I'll bet if they were beat up by somebody they would be stronger. Violence will make them strong. Violence will turn the sissy billionaires into men. The true gods are not rich men but mighty brutes.

  14. America's only value today seems to be greed, materialism, and letting the one percent run away with all their money with increasingly unregulated dishonest businesses and banks. America used to be great back when it stood for things like the Amerian Dream and a stronger middle class and affordable housing. America is gone.
