An idiot, with enough spirit, will defeat any genius.

Case in point: Kamina

But on a serious note, life has no bias. It can neither be fair nor just. IT is what it is an that's all it can be. I'm sure it's nto the answer you're hoping to find, but it's all there is. MY personal view (all opinion btw) is that you can either bitch abotu what isn't fair, or you can save the effort adn let life happen. Use the energy on something more productive. Is that to say that one should jsut lay down and let life roll you? No, just know when to pick your battles with life. Never compare yourself to anyone else, as no two people are truly comparable. Instead, compare youself to the person you were the day before, a week before, one year before, and see what you've become since for better or for worse. If things are not satisfactory, then do what you can to change where you are. There are thing you yourself may never be able to reach, or may be too far from reaching to see, such as the situation of the person you mentioned in your post. You may never even reach the million dollar mark, but that doesn't mean you can't take steps to make sure your life moves forward. In fact, it already sounds like you're well on your way in buildign that foundation with all hte hard work you're doing. Think of it this way: one day that "lucky" person will find themselves with no real skills, failign in this world while you surpass him. Some people peak early in life while the others, who put in real effort, will slowly but steadily continue to rise throughout their lives.

and now I think I'm jsut rambling, so I'm goign to go and get some water.
