      Success is a combo of luck and work. Many people have one, OP got both. Let’s congratulate them instead

      And live in an area where there’s demand and where people will give you jobs, i.e. you have the right skin colour.

      I started with borrowing my mother’s lawnmower, that’s it. But the first afternoon I had enough to buy a weed eater. Couldn’t even afford a pager, had to call my mom and check on customer calls.

      Crud. Forgot where I’m at. Yes, success is nothing but luck 99.9994% of us will never have.
