You have mistaken what I said for something else. First, success is relative and subjective. Second, I would say about 90% of "successful" people do not have a firm grip on their understandings of the world and this is why they don't want to talk about it.

A person who knows the truth of this world will always give you a chance, but they have no time for people who do not want to listen and 99% of people do not want to listen. So in that regards you are right, they dont want to give you their time, as by default you are no one. They are confident in what they know, they are arrogant because most people are worthless to them and they do not hold their tongue because they look down on everyone, due to the previous point.
