Ah, so you are a millionaire? Aren't we all on city-data. Going "the extra mile" and pushing yourself doesn't always mean you are going to be successful, nor does it mean you will be a millionaire.
No. It doesn't.
But not doing it nearly guarantees you won't get anywhere.
A million bucks is nothing anymore.
Aim higher.
And given that I seriously doubt you've ever pushed yourself or tried harder than everyone else around you, I doubt you have very much experience on this subject.
And while we are at it...his dad was a dentist...I wonder how he started?
Or are you saying that you should not take what your parents give you?
His father was a dentist, I believe his mother is physician --- that already puts the family that Zuckerberg grew up in in the top 1 %.
Put Zuckerberg in a poor inner-city family, in an inferior school that maybe didn't even have computer programming classes, no special tutor, parents working two jobs each with no time to help with homework---and I doubt he would be where is he is today.
He started out extremely privileged, and his natural intelligence was nurtured by the opportunities provided to him. Few people have those opportunities.

Guess he has to thank his parents for striving to make their son's life better....
Or are you saying that his parents were also born into money?
He was taking graduate classes at 12.....please tell us how many times the tutor came around, and what the tutor stated....(psst, it's in the link I provided, did you even read it? <<<<<<Rhetorical BTW, we know you did not from your answer....)
Average smoking rate of successful people = approximately 10%.
Average smoking rate of lower income people >= 70%.
It says a lot about why some are successful and others are, well, doing not so hot. Go into a wealthy neighborhood and you can see the care and pride they take in keeping it nice. Now....go into most low income areas........garbage, dilapidated buildings and home, garbage/junk in yards, creeps hanging-out, etc, etc, etc!

It's not that difficult to "be a Millionaire" -- a plan helps a lot.
Working at any job you have like you OWNED the company helps a lot. People notice these things.
Clock watchers and complainers will NEVER "get that". Their Loss.

Well obviously we are all multi-millionaires here. Though seeing you know nothing about me, I am as rich as you are from what I can tell.

Where did you get that stat from ?
anyways, people in low income neighborhoods dont have messy yards and junk because they are lazy. Its because getting rid of those things and paying a gardener are extra cost poor people dont have money to pay for.
