Just Be Rich
A lot of people who are just as smart and motived as Elon Musk or Steve Jobs will never be able to start their own companies and get rich.<p>Because they have family obligations that take priority.<p>Because they live outside high-income countries.<p>Because they have no access to support network, so when they fail, they fall all the way to bottom.<p>Because they may have made a crippling mistake in their pasts that now prevents them from reaching their full potential.<p>And so on and on. While I would still recommend everyone to pursue the dreams over never trying to do so - <i>being poor</i> is the single most powerful force that prevents people from doing that.
