<<Not everyone who works hard succeeds. One of the jobs I had in college was to manage a donut shop. The lady who taught me worked very hard. Because of the way that the company set up their bonus plan, you needed to make bonuses to make a living (like waitresses, the base pay was very low). Since the bonus was determined by the shops net profit, to make her numbers she had to work every day.>> Hi Kevin, This woman was victimized by her own choices. She has several potential avenues of action: the comfortable one which is to continue down the same path or she can choose to do something about her plight. Take some college classes, look for a better job, move, start her own business. The latter choice involves the risk of failure. To many that is far worse than the onerous hours imposed by her present job. Staying is the comfortable choice. It allows one to play the victim. The fear of failure is a great motivator. There is an element of luck, but there is also the element of what and how we choose. I do not doubt the lady worked hard, but many never succeed because they never really try.
