If you work hard and succeed, you should not feel guilty about it. You have earned it. But, remember, with success comes responsibility.

@helenS
I think because when we were all young and expressed any sort of ambition, the world would tell us "why don't you do this or that instead?" or how we would never make it because we were not smart enough, didn't have experience, things evolved too fast so anything we learned would be obsolete by tomorrow, etc. Maybe we didn't know what to say to counter those doubts others had about us.

That was my experience. I am not successful today but I learned to play "ignorant" when people ask advice. I figure if the world doubted me when I was younger and begging for a chance, why should I pretend to know anything when someone needs my advice?

@Slade
If you are one of those who even bothers to show up to your job, you are doing better than many. Maybe the more qualified ones had other problems that you didn't. A lot of jobs are doing good just to get people to show up.

@helenS You love science. It searches for known things and tries to make answer from.... There's nothing wrong, it just becomes we all feel, in almost no way no answer is right in art, when we live in a world labelling so many?

@CestManan I was good at what I did and never created problems. But I would notice other guys who mastered it.

Eventually it sunk in that if I made the others job easier, they'd always call me

@hunkalove this

@hunkalove why so negative ?? its not a good luck. I was not talking about merely money, but, overall happiness in life. And money means nothing if you dont have character.

@hunkalove It is true that if you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.

@Alababy Thing is that the more money someone has, the more options they have in life.
Character? Well if someone has good looks and/or enough money, the world tends to forgive their other faults.

It is easy to think, "I do not have money but I am successful in other ways" until the real world speaks up.
