RE: A matter of perspective, or something else?, Part 1
I have met a few people in my life who just see everything in a positive light, even if they are wrong. I have been in the same situation where others talk about how easy things are, and I start to think there must be something I'm doing wrong. But usually in the end they are either very lucky, or have some help that we cannot see. I have also noticed a few times there might be a catch, in some cases this deal does not bother them, but for others it's not negotiable. And so like this some of these people do not understand or see how coming from a different situation can be so difficult.
Exactly! My theory, which I actually even read in a financial book about investments, is that a person's life is a matter of luck, or fate, to put it more clearly, and that most successful people, if they didn't have a lot of support from somewhere, just had incredible luck in life and that has nothing to do with the question of who is wrong and who is right. Also, by this logic, a large part of success is not just personal success, it is a series of coincidences, just fate or luck, to which no one contributed anything. But to such people who don't even know that their success is called luck, you can't explain that there is another side to the coin. In Bulgaria we have a saying: A full person doesn't believe in a hungry person.
And in the other respect it's the same. If someone's life has gone in a favorable way, because of his fate, he doesn't believe that there can be another life line that happens to other people, and these people can't change it with anything, no matter what they do, no matter how much effort they make.
