5. If you are lucky, and happen to be working or investing in the

right place at the right time, you can become very, very rich. But if you are unlucky and work or invest in the wrong places, like ENRON, at the wrong times, like during the crash of the dot-com or housing bubbles, then you can become very, very poor.

It is like gambling where the odds are in favor of the house not the gambler, and very few people actually beat the odds. But those who get lucky (and very few do) are considered blessed by God. Those who are unlucky (which is the majority) are considered lazy and shiftless.
