How is it that dumbasses can become wealthy?



Who's sounds like more of a dumbass? The one who became independently wealthy, or the one slamming them on an internet forum while eating burger king from their divorced guy apartment?
 
I'm sure a good majority of the people at my bank see me as a dumbass punk kid who keeps getting lucky. I'm even more sure the questions I go in there with sometimes don't help with their perceptions.

You steal from the bank, pal?
 
Coming from banking I have met several wealthy people that lack common sense, basic budgeting skills, and still seem to become successful. . . I truly don't get it.


The only thought that seems to make sense is that they are so stupid that they seem to ignore things like risk which some smart people over analyze which allows them to edge out people who are genuinely smarter.

FYI, I don't think it takes a whole lot of brains to be successful, but some of the people I have come across are really really stupid.

If it's banking it could well be tribal nepotism of the "Chosen Ones", or one of their Shabbat Goys.
 
I'll give you an example of something that happened this past week. Saturday witnessed the crazy success of a new product. Monday sourced it, Tuesday negotiated it, wendsday drove 800 miles round trip. Friday and Saturday sold a 1000 units quadruple the money. In fact it's so good it sold out. So you already know what's going to happen next week.

Success has little to do with being smart. It's all about action. When you see an opportunity you have to jump into head first. I know a lot of very successful people who I consider to be dumb. But at the same time they are buisness savey. But they all have the same characteristics. They are super focused on their goals. They take action and with a stubbornness that most people simply can't emulate.

you're a phaggeot. You were SMART to jump on the opportunity by taking ACTION. No smartness = no intelligence to jump on the opportunities aka taking action.

You become successful by fusing different elements like smartness (lightbulb moments) AND taking action (start working) AND being persistent (work until you succeed)

that's a bullshit quote, einstein never said it. here's a real quote:

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Thank you. dmnEPC is a dumb cunt. Reminds me of when Ryan Eagle always touted "take action." Yeah, take action on the dumbest opportunities. You have to have the smarts to recognize good opportunities, and then take action. You don't just take action on every single questionable opportunity that comes your way.

Refer to my earlier post.

"Yeah! Genius! Smarts don't matter! All a retard has to do is "take action" by banging his helmet on the doorknob."

I just saw a statistic that the vaccination rate of kids in Beverly Hills was around 20%. They believe it's like this due to celebrities that have an anti-vaccine stance.

This seems to be a pretty good example of intelligence not being directly linked to success and wealth, right?
 
Come on now what does that prove exactly? I have no doubt you work hard but as said earlier by someone above, you just don't start taking action on dumb shit but rather use your smartness/intelligence to decide on what you want to take action on. Both skills are required equally.

Those guys who keep large amounts in banks, they don't need to know how stock operates (if they don't need it), how to close the balance shit or don't need to have "budgeting skills" you are thinking about. They have people for this kind of stuff (they have You). They operate on a different level than you. Especially if they come from wealthy families and actually care about business, they are a way more smart and intelligent than you are probably (in terms of business). They are growing up in a completely different environment than you (family, friends etc.). You see, you are coming from banking so this tells me a lot about you. You call those wealthy guys stupid but, it's you who is/was seating there and taking care of their money.

They are using You to multiple their wealth, not the opposite way around. So how stupid you feel now?

While it's true it don't takes a lot of brains it's still You who is writing this post.

BTW, jealousy is a destroying feeling. If I was in your place (assuming you are still in banking) I would make my best to learn from them no matter how "stupid" you think they are.

Anyway, I don't think you are dealing with wealthy people so this post is probably of no value to you.

You should read Jon's AMA I think. If I'm correct it was in his AMA where he stated this clearly (and he isn't that stupid, unless of course you think he is).
You were born peasant and you can't understand wealthy just like that. Once someone here gave me neg reputation telling me to take some pride out of my posts. I'm not telling I see it in your posts as well but, you should think twice before calling someone stupid.

Opposite actually.

It proves only one thing. That any dumb fuck (like me) can make as much money as he wants. Has little to nothing to do with smarts. It's about working harder than anyone else. That's it. That does not include the 1% that earns it through dumb luck.
