and like robbie says, there are worker bees who generally just accept the position in which they were born into. ever hear people say, we aren't 'those' kind of people (ie rich). these people just accept that a decent paying job is the most they'll achieve because its the most their parents and grandparents ever achieved. others, like myself and many here refuse to accept that and no matter if we succeed or fail, we continue to try. not everyone who works hard towards a goal will succeed, no matter how many times they try and some will succeed on the first go, some on the 50th and some will just give up but its not cut and dry as to, if you have drive you will succeed. its not as simple as that.

In my opinion, using English will help you get ahead. You may think it doesn't matter if you write sentences or not. Yet, the people who get rich are people who take care to do it right - to write actual sentences . If you're not rich, try doing what they do.

their success can probably be traced back to get a number of key jobs that really moved them forward. without those specific jobs they might still be a father and son construction company. in my opinion life in general works like this. you are only one step away from success or total failure at any given time. even a small what seems like meaningless decision could make or break it down the road but you can't see it at the time.

We never no the long term effects of one specific instance of a specific decision. With hundreds of small decisions made every day, that's not what matters, though. PRINCIPLES matter. For example, we don't know WHEN we'll have a car accident. However, we know that always wearing a seatbelt and driving safely is smart. The construction guys who went on to own a successful construction company probably didn't know which people would turn out to be important customers, but they knew that by treating all people fairly would be good for their business in the long run.
