This comes from the same stable as ‘ Become a millionaire by buying a ticket in a lottery’. Some people do win millions. Very few become a success over night. Hard work over many years is not currently fashionable. Also, if you become a success, you have peaked. You were probably a success at birth if you survived and will remain a success until you die. There is a risk that you will settle if you think you have made it. It is downhill once you have reached the top.
