meh, a bunch of generalizations that are true enough some of the time so that they sound deep and thoughtful to anyone not thinking too hard.<p>The fact is, anyone giving "truth" on hyper success is full of it. There just aren't enough hyper-successful people out there to generate a large enough same size to discern meaningful patterns. Hyper successful people are, by definition, very rare, and any attempt to find broader patterns and commonalities is silly.<p>Most of us would do well to focus on avoiding a bad life instead of pursuing an epic one. Don't neglect your health, your friendships or your marriage. Don't hold grudges or give headspace to toxic people. Quit your job when you start to hate it. Do those things and you may not become a billionaire, but life will probably be pretty good to you.
I agree with pretty much everything here but to be honest it seems like most of these things are obvious. Of course college is important unless you have something better to do. Starting a business is hard. The media hypes tech up. Of course you won’t get rich quick flipping houses. Good to see that others agree though.
