How can ordinary people own assets worth tens of millions? A very realistic answer.

One paragraph resonates deeply:
"You're too proud to lick the big brother, you refuse to learn to toast, you can't bring yourself to lower your pride to practice your words, you refuse to learn gift-giving, social skills, and that set of interpersonal interactions. If you just won't do it, fine. If you want to focus on traffic and operations, selling one product ten thousand or a hundred thousand units, you can't handle that either. If that's not acceptable, I'll have you learn technology, chips, programming, artificial intelligence. But you complain that you can't learn it well or deeply enough, that your IQ can't keep up."
