9. An Extra Angle

I actually have some respect for these rich kids who, despite not needing to worry about wealth accumulation ever, they still are willing to put in the massive amount of work to reach the top in their field.
I started thinking about someone like Steph Curry. His dad was a 12 year NBA player with a TV job. His mom was a local TV personality. No worries about money, at all.
Yet, he put in the work to become a revolutionary player, and inarguably one of the greatest shooters ever. Arguably, the beat. And, he kept getting better even after he had made his money.
There's something admirable about that type of focus.
In contrasts directly to a lazy, self-centered rich kid who never worked a day in his life, then accidentally became POTUS.
