You just try harder. If it was easy everyone would do. It just soviety's way of 
rewarding effort.

A fact of life is that most people give up and then envy those who have 
succedded. Everybody comes into this world with the same opportunity. Take Bill 
Wylie as an example, he was born in a tiny, tiny town like Tone River or 
something like that, that very few people have even heard of, let alone been 
there. He made it. Dick Smith is a nother example, Sir Richard Branson, Anita 
Roddick. How many examples do you want, of people who have stated with nothing, 
absolutely nothing and built vast empires and at the same time are good 
corporate citizens and good citizens in general.

Very few people have everything given to them, and in a lot of cases inherited 
wealth does not last more than 3 generations or so.
