answer:It’s kind of like how advertising works: by appealing to people’s conscious or ego. It’s easy to sell as well because you can go to any nice town and see people driving nice cars with huge houses, so it’s easy to think “I can eventually have that, too.” It’s part myth and part reality, because it can happen, but there’s so much luck involved it’s not worth centering your whole life around it. There was a survey of people that made $250,000 and up, and 40% of them stated they’re where they are because of luck. Although all of them said hard work was a major factor, if they realize so much of that was luck, that kind of tells you something.
