Let copers cope by thinking getting rich isnt luck.

yeah the difference is the accomplished ones are incredibly productive in the time that they work.

this is the /biz/ redpill

>College
>Not spending time on the internet during the biggest tech boom since 2000

Sounds like youre just a fucking retard that can't think for themself.

Made 150k so far this year selling shitty iPhone cases on various forms of social media.

Enjoy paying back your stupid loans dipshit.

Learn to entrepreneur.

Isn't it obvious? its just social darwinism in play. The strong tramples over the weak. Nature doesn't pick sides who survives or who dies.

>I've spent significant time at two of the world's top 5 universities (one as an undergraduate)
Yeah so have I and a good handful of other people.
One answer is that we don't sleep as much and when we do study we study productively. And we're not so dumb either, which doesn't hurt.

This is important.

Also, when you're walking from place to place, or listening to something, the back of your head should still be "working" in a sense. That can mean figuring out business solutions, thinking about a problem from your studies, making future plans and deciding how to execute them, etc.
The ones who are successful at this will obsess over these things in the back of their minds while doing just about anything else.

Well yeah alot of it's about raw ability.

An intelligent person with the right attributes could make alot of money just casually trading shitcoins, while someone else might work hard as hell 60 hours a week for years and end up with fuck all.

I'm in the Ma/PhD Biostatistics program at Brown University, I have an Assistantship that completely covers tuition and a $2,000/mo stipend. My job prospects are ridiculous, I'm on year 3 and I've been approached by a Philadelphia consulting firm that's offered by 150k based and 2% commission (the contracts range from 2 million - 80 million). I've been very, very successful in college.

And I procrastinate heavily. I look at /biz/ and /fit/, I watch shitty old cartoons, I don't wake up until 11 am each day.

Do you know why this isn't a problem for me? Because I'm fairly smart AND I'm a 'normy'. I'm a 8/10 (realistically) with a winning smile. I scored a 35/36 on my ACT the first time, without studying or trying particularly hard. I never try. Everything I do is easy and everyone I meet loves me.

I'm not saying any of this to brag, I'm just adding context - if you aren't decently good looking, sociable in the extreme, and more clever than most - then you better be waking up at 5:30 am 7 days a week to hit the books.

It's an alternative to the SAT we have in the states. Taken by high school students to get into college. 36 is the max possible score. It's worth the exact same as the SAT, just an alternate test that pretty much all colleges which require SATs will accept.

I happen to work in a consulting company in Philadelphia, seriously.

Would you mind telling me which one you are referring to? There's a strong chance.

>>1804716
I'm gonna guess Accenture

>>1804760
Nope. We do actuarial consulting for insurance firms.

Don't believe on his shitposts.

I'm a short 6/10 so I decided it was just my lot in life to steal what I want from the successful handsome people. It's working out pretty well.
