hmmm...just bored and thinking so here's a list

-have connections in high places.
-be very skilled and talented
-have a lot of motivation
-be very lucky
-sleep your way up (this only works for girls)
-work the system (i.e. grade grubbing and resume padding)
-have a good idea
-born with a lot of money


Well, I am very skilled and talented, I do have motivation, and I have good ideas. If you are talented enough you won't need money to have connections to be lucky. If that was the case, then half of the football players (just an example) wouldn't be playing football today.

luck comes to those that work hard


wizardpl he didn't mean you need ALL of those to be successful, there's probably noone that has all of those qualities anyhow
it's just a list of things that can help

I know, I'm just saying haha. But yeah you right, but the more money, connections you have the less talent, skills, and ambition it seems that people have. It is a generalization but it is very common if you think about it.
