The First *Law* of Wealth Building, Thinking and Success
*Law* 1: Life is not fair.
There is no required justice in the universe. Good people with good intentions aren't given a break over unkind people with bad intentions. Nice people don't necessarily finish last, but they certainly don't finish first because they are nice. (Dang...I wish.)
In fact, there is plenty of evidence to support the assertion that people who break the rules and do anything to get ahead, in money, in education, just about anything, will indeed tend to get "more."
Steroids helped baseball players make 10 times the money they would have made without the steroids.
Over the last decade, the majority of the handful of successful homerun hitters in baseball cheated. A minority of the successful homerun hitters didn't cheat.
Life is not fair also means, that bad things happen to good people.
It means that you don't have total control over your destiny.
It means chance or "luck" WILL play a role in your life and you can't control that either.
Life is not fair means that you could just as easily be born in a rich country like the USA, UK, Sweeden, Luxemborg....as you can in Ethiopia, Chad, Vietnam, Haiti.
Life is not fair means that people with more money and better physical appearance have HUGE advantages in all forms of competition in the real world.
Life is not fair is understood by all successful people.
Life is not fair means that better quality (Apple Computers) doesn't always mean more sales than a competitor (PC's) lesser quality products and services.
Life is not fair means that your child might be autistic and live next door to a kid who has every physical and mental advantage on the planet. Your child might be severely handicapped and the kid next door ends up in the Olympics.
That IS how life works in the universe. It isn't "fair" and in the majority of cases, it isn't your fault.
