| Look, Stitch, maybe that CEO/Bond Trader whatever the heck isn't good so much as lucky. In my business, luck has a whole lot to do with success. I know a lot of good writers (better than me by a long shot) who just never got that great manuscript on the right desk at the right moment and it wasn't for want of effort. There are phenomenons in every business...Tiger Woods and J.K. Rowling come to mind...
Bond traders and such have their place in this world but not everyone aspires to shove numbers around all day. Money brings misery as often as it brings happiness...check out the Curse of the Lottery. There's an awful lot of fabulously rich people out there who have had multiple ugly divorces, never talk to their children, and are unhappy, lonely, arrogant people. Maybe that's the price they pay for their wealth...I'm not willing to trade for it. |
