I think you applied some type of subconscious bias to my statement, and in the process misunderstood it. It took a lot of hard work for most things in my life, like most people.
Nobody has conspired against me, but interesting you say that because I've met many like yourself who conspire against themselves, unwilling to realize their true potential because of an imaginary bogie-man. I view that habit as apathy, and so long as everyone else is idled and unwilling to try, I will continue to be relatively successful just doing my best, over and over until I stop.
