What is it that people like Arnold, Trump, Elon Musk have that everyone else lacks?
It's mindblowingly absurd that Donald Trump one day thought "You know what, I'm going to become the president" and he did
That is impossible for me to wrap my head around
How Arnold, some poor teenager in Austria says "I'm going to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time" and he did, then he said he wanted to become the highest paid actor, and he did, and then he said he wanted to be the governor of California, and he did
If you saw these things in a movie you would roll your eyes and complain about it being too unrealistic, yet there are people out there living it, right now.
honestly this is the average sort of girl i wish i had been having one night stands with in college
nothing really noteworthy about her but it would be a good night of feeling like you're normal. i'd almost rather bang her than someone objectively prettier because at that point you're like "ok you're banging me but you're out of my league, what's your angle"
with this girl you're like "ok shes just horny like me, we're both average. cool"
anyway whats this thread about?
Easton Stewart
It's the best thing
Jaxson Brooks
>>How Arnold, some poor teenager in Austria says "I'm going to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time" He didn't say that. He simply became it.
Jason Flores
drive and vision. something a lot of people, including myself, lack.
Bentley Gomez
A combination of both drive to a given goal and skills to get there. It's pretty rare tbqh.
Xavier Bennett
Being in the right place at the right time, recognizing it, and having the drive to see their goals through.
So it's not just working hard, it's also a little bit of luck
Benjamin Wright
lol
Isaiah Foster
I wish people would stfu about Musk
The guy is a hack, he makes his money off scamming people through hype to believe he invented something that has been available for decades, and then getting governments to give him money
Dominic Smith
Comfort is the killer of all dreams All of these people went through hell and lived very hard lives working all day to accomplishing their goals Everyone wants to be them, but not work like them In todays world why would you want to work 80-100 hours per week when you could just work 40 hours a week and live a very comfortable life
Leo Young

Joseph Clark
I can understand what you mean with Tesla but you have to give him credit for making reusable rockets.
Brandon Rogers
Well Trump works for the jews, they put him up there so he can do their bidding. I.e senseless wars and trade wars. Fucking Kushner calls the shots. Jews play both sides, it's how they always win. I regret voting Trump. I thought he was the chosen one, but really he is a pawn of the jews.
Brandon Johnson
Fucking moron. I never do ad hominem, but you're a fucking moron.
Lincoln Evans
Yea your right he is a total hack He only invested the first major online money transaction site Then he only went on to revolutionize electric cars and make a product far superior to any other including the standard gas cars, and implementing the most advanced self driving car in this world And he only was the first person to make a reusable rocket that can successfully land itself, and being contracted to send many rockets into orbit
Guy is a total hack

The other examples maybe. Trump is just what happens when your Dad is rich and has a lot of friends in powerful places. Add in confidence (read: arrogance) and you've basically got the Roosevelt's, Bush's, Kennedy's, whatever dynasty you want to substitute.
The others have a certain amount of confidence too though. That and a lot of hard work with just the right amount of luck.
Evan Cruz
I have to agree somewhat. All of his businesses, while successful are all heavily subsidized which reduces risk for his more outlandish adventures.
By the way, even with subsidies, none of his businesses produce a reliable profit year over year. He still has a LONG way to go before that happens.
Asher Thomas
>Become highly educated in applied physics (about to start graduate studies)
>Start internet business while studying (check), continue building it while studying (check, currently it's valued at $14M but it's very young with tons of potential that I haven't tapped into yet) and sell it for a shitload of money (unchecked)
>by this point I'll likely have a PhD in applied/engineering physics with a fuckload of money, so I'll use my extensive knowledge of technology and science, backed by said fuckload of money, to create companies dealing in new, innovative technologies (am interested in Weylian electronics, muon-catalyzed fusion, AI, quantum computers, synthetic biology and genetic engineering / bioinformatics to name a few fields. Really anything innovate and disruptive interests me).
And that's my plan for becoming a technology billionaire, inventor, entrepreneur and investor. I seriously, unironically believe I'll reach the level of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs etc. at some point in my life. I'm not expecting any words of encouragement, nor do I need it.

Trump was born rich
There is a quote I heard, and I can't remember it specifically, but it essentially says "Show me someone great who is the son of someone great"
Being born rich usually leads a meaningless Paris Hilton life with no accomplishments, because you have no drive or determination to achieve anything
Trump is definitely unique
Evan Wright
I know people assume his "dumbass" routine is genuine; but it's not. He didn't decide on a whim to become president, it's been an aspiration of his since probably the 80's.
Gabriel Hughes
YOU CAN DO IT
fuck you I will encourage the shit out of you
Jose Bennett
I unironically wish Darth Vader would come and impale your sorry ass with his blazing hot rod through the door like he did to that rebel scum that handed the Death Star plans from the Mon Cal ship to Tantine IV at the end of Rogue One

>There are currently three Paris Hilton apartment complexes and 44 Paris Hilton stores worldwide, with products including perfumes, handbags, watches and footwear. Hilton earns over $10 million a year from product sales. Hilton's perfume products alone have brought in over $2.5 billion in revenue, the second largest celebrity fragrance of all time behind Hollywood actress Liz Taylor.
Paris Hilton is basically the female Trump, a reality star who has used her name to great effect endorsing random crap.
Kayden Richardson
I am jelly as fuck of Musk's work ethic. How the fuck can he work so hard? I can barely put effort in to anything at all.
Angel Allen
The way I see it is everyone in life is born with certain levels of genetic attributes like drive, intelligence, determination, work ethic etc. The people like Trump and Elon Musk are just the freak genetic outliers that have all those levels cranked up to max. Statistically it's bound to happen, and people like them are supposed to change and shape the world, it's the only reason humans have got this far as a species.
David Brooks
White men having the privilege of achieving their utmost desires.
Evan Bennett
Nah. Hilton was already a premiere hotel chain, and had been for many years, by the time Paris rolled around. The brand name recognition and marketing were basically already done.
Donald Trump took experience gained building low/middle-income housing for cheap with his father and built an instantly-recognizable brand and business empire.
Without Donald Trump's efforts, nobody would know about the Trump family. Everyone already knew about the Hiltons.
> reality star
A second career after 'billionaire real estate developer'.
I've got an idea. Instead of blaming your failures on the melanin content of other peoples' skin, how about you make something of yourself?
Cooper Torres
Trump was just lucky desu.
Michael Lewis
Statistically, it's improbably that there wouldn't be situations like this.
In Donald's case (I love the guy) he's just really stupid and single minded, and has never had to deal with horrific situations there was no way to change. Like a child, he never grew up. And honestly that's kind of good for business, because it's charismatic and makes your decisions simple... Until you encounter legitimately hard shit that most people can handle, but you can't because you're facing it so late in the game. The us presidency will break him, or he's just the most truly stupid, in-denial person the free world has seen. Either way I'm glad to be alive to witness this social experiment. Just keks all around because you can troll absolutely anyone who has any sort of opinion on him because he does both good and retard things in equal measures. All the panties are riled.
Andrew Thompson
yes I'm sure you would have done just as well in Trump's position. Get real, the guy is beastmoding
Elijah Stewart
Something I enjoy is seeing someone, even if they are crazy, and don't deserve it, achieve their wildest fantasy
Someone like Trump, who is obsessed with power, obsessed with being the biggest and the best, the richest, the most important etc. become the President, become the most powerful man on the planet.
That makes me happy in a weird way. I think there would be no better feeling.
Maybe Floyd Mayweather is a similar example.
In normal circumstances it would be a curse to have such an out of control gigantic ego, but by chance you're also equipped with the ability to achieve so much and become so rich and powerful that the ego gets to be fully stroked, to an unimaginable level.
Having delusions of grandeur.... and then going out and actually becoming/living/experiencing it to the max.
The guy who is obsessed with expensive cars and jewelry, and then becomes rich beyond his wildest dreams and gets to experience it all.
Andrew Sanders
Yea, it's kind of amazing.
Nathan Richardson
Trump went bankrupt and then became a billionaire again. He is known for having made the largest financial comeback in history. You're retarded.
Adrian Morris
never quit user, i love you and i know you can accomplish wonders
Dylan Barnes
a huge part of it is luck, like not being born black, being born right place right time (you know what i mean, someone born in sudan will never be governor or president of the US)
and the other part is aligning and putting yourself in a position to be successful (the "hard work" part)
and that's it
Caleb Cox
I didn't say delusion wasn't useful.
Landon Gomez

Tyler Nelson
>it's a " Trump is successful because his daddy was rich " post
I thought this shit died months ago
Jacob Allen
You have to keep putting the fucking work in and never even think about giving up. Stallone had to star in a soft core porn movie for fuck's sake because he was so goddamn broke, but he never gave up and eventually landed a hit with Rambo 1. How many people do you know who would go to such lengths to achieve their dreams? Thought so.
>genetic attributes like drive, determination, work ethic etc.
You do realize that you can train those "attributes" just like you can train your muscles? You are just a lazy fuck who's making excuses. You're not better than the fat landwhales that blame everything on muh genetics.
Adrian Cook
According to Trump and the Art of the deal, the main elements to success are persistence, competence, efficiency,aggressiveness, and adaptability. A good leader has good vision and the drive to see it through.
Regardless of what you think of Trump, The Art of the Deal has some pretty good life advice for those striving to be great. I really recommend it.
Blake Lopez
Millions of people are born into money and a majority of them are no name faggots that no one gives a shit about
Having money doesn't automatically make you a socialite or famous
Benjamin Turner
I didn't say you couldn't train them, but there are limits to your genetic potential or we'd all be billionaires. Also I'm not lazy, I have goals in my life and I work every day to achieve them. But I'm not going to kid myself and say that if I put my mind to it I can be a billionaire president since there are lots of genetic traits I have that make that extremely unrealistic.
