Life Would have been different IF I had the money and opportunities.
Hard work is important but not relative to success and wealth.

I keep asking myself, "HugeElephant, are you working hard enough?"
You build a network of friends, you think of ideas, you work towards them. Fine, things ought to turn out right?

Money is important at every point, it's an oil to opportunities. Keep a mirror in a shade, the reflection can't be compared to the the mirror you put in the sunshine. It projects images

When we hold a mirror in sunlight, we see a bright patch of light on the wall opposite to the mirror. This is due to the reflection of light (sunlight) by the mirror. The reflection of light can be defined as the bouncing of light after striking a surface. The saame applies to money and opportunities.
