Why You Have to Earn What you Own!

I bet everyone dreamed at least one time about winning the jackpot at lottery or just to get rich overnight by an immense luck. I know I did, for a long time. Damn, I used to have all these detailed plans about how I am going to spend all that money :)))!
(This is a post by @laurentiu.negrea as he won a spot on my blog by winning the last Minnow Support Saturday contest. He will earn 50% of the total payout of this post.)
Time has passed, and along with the years, I learned that is better not happening to me. Isn't weird how we tend to underappreciate what we get for free? Well, all I know is this! If someone, anyone, no matter who, is getting something for free, that's simply a waste.
Succes is not coming for those who are not prepared for it! The natural conclusion out of this is, the true success is only the earned one! No matter what business you have, if you didn't get through a few big failures first, you are not ready for the real success. Only those who got up after they felt big at least one time, can endure being successful.
Endure being successful? How that even make sense?
If you have these questions, there is a long way until you reach success. Let me break it down a bit.

There are a Few Rules to be Genuinely Successful in Life!
1. Only the strong ones get to the finish line.
It sounds like a no-brainer, still, so many people tend to get frustrated when they lose. Tip, you never lose! It's actually like this, you get the prize or you get the lesson. It mostly depends on your take on things.
2. Learn how to care about people, not about their opinions ;).
Yes, you should care about people and how your action will affect them. What you should not care, is their opinions. If you are doing that, the probability of success is lower than sea level.
3. You have to understand that this is a competition.
Yes, and yes! You are in a competition with every other human being and more than that, even before you are born. Just live with it. Take into account point 2 when competing though.
4. R.T.F.M.
Read the fucking manuals. Take the time to learn what you are doing, whatever that is. Believe me, somebody already done it and there's no point in discovering the wheel now :).
5. There's no matter of taking risks is the fact if you choose what risks are taken or the other way.
Are you alive? I guess you are if you read this. In this case, you are taking risks all the time. Wouldn't you want to choose what risks you take?
6. Is not about what you get, is about what you become!
If you take a rich man and a successful one and have all their possessions taken away from them, which one will be back first, if ever at all? Think a bit about all those Bitcoin millionaires and let it sink in :P.
7. Learn how to deal with people.
There is no chance for anyone to get on top alone. Find the right people and team up with them, this is the only real chance of getting anywhere :).
There's Another Lesson Here.
As you become successful (or think you are) and want to help others, think about this.
If you give a fish to a man, he will eat that day. But if you take the time to teach the man how to fish, he will eat a lifetime.
some old Chinese saying I believe.
Now, we all know there is a lot easier and faster to just give things to those in need. On the other hand, is a lot harder to teach someone how to earn the things they need for themselves.
When you give just things to someone, is so you feel good about yourself. When you give your time to teach someone, that's when you really want to help. Doing both of them, now this is a genuinely selfless act IMHO.
And that's all my rambling for today people. See you soon!

thank you so much for this great article,
you mention that"When you give just things to someone, is so you feel good about yourself. When you give your time to teach someone, that's when you really want to help. Doing both of them, now this is a genuinely selfless act IMHO."
actually teaching is one of the learning hacks, when you teach someone, you will understand that subject better, or maybe they ask you a question that you never thought about.
Gold, by teaching a subject you will start grasping mastery.
Definitely the things you earn with effort have a greater value for you, than those you get as a prize, of course it is not bad to win the lottery, which would solve many economic problems as if by magic, but in a high % of people who do not value the money earned easily, the best thing is to see the fruits of daily work and teach future generations to take value for everything that is given, our children should be clear in the effort it takes to get a reward.
Very great comment.
This is why some rich families don't give their children money.
Because they do not know how to use it responsibly.
I dream about winning the lottery all the time! When I'm on the train with my headphones on but not really listening to music, just reminiscing on the idea of what would I do with the money. I know exactly what house I would buy and the name of my two adorable dogs (Loki and Thor).
Well you can argue that in order to win the lottery you have to buy a ticket, so it isn't exactly free...
I love Point 4! The time you invest in fully learning how to X will save you a lot of time in the future!
I know exactly what house I will buy too!
The day that happens I will be a very happy man.
I think i appreciate your tips on rules of a successful life.thanks for passing the knowledge across.
