persistence. above all else. not sure if it's already been mentioned, but if you could only choose one attribute, you can't go wrong with this one.
The only post in this thread that makes any sense.
I think sometimes we forget that we're all fucking animals and the most important things in the world are food, shelter, and family. You're a few gene sequences away from being a chimpanzee. Your end-game isn't any different than his, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself otherwise.
Do some of you fuckers think that just because you're running your own online business, your experience of happiness is somehow superior and more real than corporate rat-racers? If some of these posts is what winning looks like, I'm not interested in playing.
What the fuck did brandonbaker wanted to say?
And gbmack, what you're writing about there is the pussy attitude. Jon wrote about the aggressive attitude and wrote for the motivated guys that know what they want.
Jon clearly pointed "If your goal in life is to be rich/wealthy or anything less than being part of the actual ruling class, then you are going to lose and this game isn't really for you at all."
What you did was to rewrite that sentence in 400 words.
It's about diamonds, not $100/day...

actually he is absolutely right.
It is about diamonds - something that has very, VERY low real value, but its perceived value is incredibly high.
fuck... I got suckered in a troll thread.
nope. You nailed it. Even if you think it's a metaphor. That's the beauty of said game.
He said, quite clearly, that idiots like you dont get that youre the least free piece of shit in this world.
And dont speak of metaphors, you clearly dont get how they work.
That sounds like a really shitty game. Reminds of me having a beer with some wealthy retired guy, who has a tear in his eye, because he pissed his entire life away working, and didn't realize what was important to him until he was like 63 and it was too late.
These guys are generally accepting and content with the seeds they've sown, but from my experience, if they had a redo, the majority would do things differently.
But whatever, to each their own. Have fun with "the game"!

It's not that my experience of happiness is different. It's a difference in what creates happiness between myself and a corporate rat racer. Sure, I may go through periods where I work 60-70 hours a week, but if I had someone else telling me where to be for X hours every day of the week, I'd be miserable. When I'm working 60-70 hours a week, I'm extremely motivated for whatever reason and it feels good. Sometimes I work 5-10 hours a week, or whatever I feel like, and that kind of flexibility allows me to maintain relationships in ways that corporate rat racers would have a very difficult time doing.
I eat, fuck, and work whenever I feel like it. What animal would prefer being caged at the circus, doing whatever they're told, whenever they're told?
And income streams are far superior to wages for a ton of reasons. I understand that some people can be happier with a job, but it's an illusion of security at best.
