Being smart won't get u rich. Being at the right time and place will

dreamer101,
if I say I want to be someone like you,
is that a wrong ( question )?

I found myself very hard to have the level of discipline that you have. ( especially during your college's time )
Is it because I lack of motivation?
how to discipline myself to be very focus on what am I doing? ( especially in my studies )
and also how to trained myself to be less emotional?

thank you.

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.

i think u missed the last part of his post. he did clarified at the end that LUCK is only 1 of the elements to be succeed but not the only element. 

if dreamer's cousin not in the right time then no use.
warren buffett said if he is born before 1930 he will be a farmer

If it is fate, how to know when to evade?
Tiger Wood's father must have know his son will become rich but Donald Trump have to make mistakes to learn, why Hitler fail to conquer the world and Japan did not find out what is atom bomb? The world know about economic recession but it still happen?

Since dreamer101 says its TOO LATE for people who are over 40, should I go die? He also said Malaysian economy is doomed in a few years, how to evade?

To make money work for you, you first need to work for money
