Yes, but you forget that they didn't start this way; they worked very hard to get to the point they are now.

I agree with you Max, if we believe we can get rich quick we have more chances of getting it, and i'm glad you recognize that action is required, even if only to some extent. But sometimes to get rich quicker we have to work as hard as we can.
And i now came to the conclusion that hard work can be thought of in two ways;
smart hard work, when you're working with a purpose to actually make money (like owning a business, investing,...) and
dumb hard work, when you just work to "pay the bills, not starve to death, maybe even afford the luxury to own a good house and a nice car, even if it means drowning in debt". Maybe that's why we aren't reaching an agreement, because you see hard work as my last example, of a person working, working, and not accumulating wealth, while i see it as working very hard/intensively in your business/investing.
