Every dog, has his day...

I've noticed that success in a similar group of people is defined by the consistent least common denominator. People who do what others don't, and they do it all the time. That would be a great reason for personal success. Admirable and worthy. But that's not always the case.

Many people succeed because of their extracurricular talents. From sucking-up to back-stabbing, some think all is fair in office wars. Any opportunistic person would see that as completely legitimate.

Then some of these people start blabbering about how amazing their achievement was and then start attributing it to just about anything in the world. From bragging about unrelated experience, to boasting non-existent hard work, while completely leaving the matters of sucking-up out of the picture

This leads to my next point which always puzzled me when people start proclaiming, or considering themselves better than others because they pray more for example. Or give more to charity. As if religious and charitable work is a scale of preference.

Education helps people gather knowledge. Work helps people gain experience. money allows people to collect wealth. A nice-pretty wife would make life easier, and so on. None of these makes anyone better than anyone else. Nor does family, tribe, color, ethnicity, gender or where you live. On the same note it doesn't make you worse either

Therefore, attributing success ty do being the better person is just like attributing it to luck. Which translates in short to someone admitting that they don't even know why they deserve such a success. If anything, it's least flattering to the person's hard work IF any

Anyone who thinks they achieved such success without really earning it is just the dog, having his day, so enjoy the bone.
