You are not privileged. There, cured.

Sorry, but you have to work just as hard and appreciate whatever you have just as much as anyone else if you want to succeed -- which means you need to get to work.

It was a rhetorical question but I agree with your stance. I wouldn't say hard work will necessarily lead to success but perseverance does further oneself.

fair enough. I think thinking you don't need to work as hard is probably a detriment to success though.

True. It is the bane of my existence. :(
