Rich in what?
money? cultural experience? happiness in relationship/family?

So, what's the rich definition on each individual?
However the default definition of rich is $$$

To certain extend, I agree with few forumer on one view which is luck.
Your cousin has been working in Palm Oil for so long to the extend he knows in/out of the business.
In the beginning, what does your cousin do before entering into Palm Oil business?
Side question, is your cousin doing business in Malaysia or Indonesia?

To become rich in monetary, luck do play a role sometimes.
Example like your case which you found the Texas law which allow you to pursue tuition fee waiver.
If no luck, there is a chance that you will not find the Texas law. Agree?

To become rich in monetary, attitude play a crucial role.
Example like your case which you put all the efforts in order to get waiver in your tuition fees.

Now back to dreamer101 main point,
1) Find out what you are. Your answer is Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator

2) INVEST on yourself to be VERY GOOD in the area that YOUR STRENGTH will be appreciated.
Agree on this view!

3) To succeed, it requires 3 key element but I would like to add one more element
- Motivation
- Talent / Temperament
- Environment / Industry
- Luck

Majority of the people will talk to choose C.
Example, put this question in the job interview test and I believe there are 90% confidence level that interviewee will choose C.

I like this quote by Dreamer !!!

Dreamer is just using a paradox example meaning non-halal food in a place which people can only eat halal food.
But somehow you guys have a hoo-hah on the example.

I believe Dreamer point is that either the person adapt to the environment or leave to an environment which people eat non-halal food or end up starving

Not totally correct too. It's possible for people to create the dependency to the extend the company have to promote him/her in order to keep him/her.
What is your view on this?
