This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Success is a combo of luck and work. Many people have one, OP got both. Let's congratulate them instead

And live in an area where there's demand and where people will give you jobs, i.e. you have the right skin colour.

I started with borrowing my mother's lawnmower, that's it. But the first afternoon I had enough to buy a weed eater. Couldn't even afford a pager, had to call my mom and check on customer calls.

Crud. Forgot where I'm at. Yes, success is nothing but luck 99.9994% of us will never have.
