Ultimate Success Recipe

I heard you wanted to lead a successful happy life. Well, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news for you. The good news is that I have the secret right here with me. The bad news is, it burns. Wanna be rich and happy? Well fuck, if you ain't already, the chances are, you won't be. See if you meet the requirements:

1. Have happy parents.
You need to have a pair of well-informed loving parents who would give you the proper upbringing that you need in order to grow up and be a strong confident individual. Hey, if your parents were unhappy, you're pretty much screwed, son. If that's the case, you'll never be happy, unless you have the capacity to change your way of thinking, or in other words, reprogram your brain circuits. Most people are already too brainwashed to be deprogrammed, so they lack that capacity.

2. Have rich parents.
Your parents should be wealthy, period. Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck being a slave to the wage. Most business owners owe it to their parents, who owe it to their parents, who owe it to their parents, etc. Aristocracy has never stopped existing. If you lack the capital, taking advice from successful people like Donald Trump seems rather useless; it would only give you false hopes, because you'll never be Donald Trump. He is the product of generations of success. Education won't get you anywhere, either. If life didn't teach you a lesson, do you expect a goddamn institution to do that for you? That's just naive. And you're willing to pay top dollar to those who exploit your innocent hopes. If you're born poor, the odds are, you'll die poor, unless you get really really lucky.

3. Have good health.
So now you have a pair of rich loving parents. That still doesn't guarantee you a happy life. Excruciating pain and frequent visits to the hospital kind of ruin it. Therefore, you need to have good genes; no predispositions to nasty illnesses! Eating healthily would surely benefit you, and it's totally within your control.

In conclusion, let me paraphrase this for you: no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, if you lack these three predispositions, you are most likely to fail. But hey, it's not the end of the world. Have fun with your failures. Being a loser can be an art, too. Risk is your best friend. You have nothing to lose anyway, so why not take risks? You might get lucky. Anything out of the ordinary.

Let me finish with a quote from one of my favorite movie characters, Two-Face Harvey Dent: One man is born a hero, his brother a coward. Babies starve, politicians grow fat. Holy men are martyred, and junkies grow legion. Why? Why, why, why, why, why? Luck! Blind, stupid, simple, doo-dah, clueless luck!
