As your anecdote shows, you kept your eyes open and you took advantage of opportunities others don't see. I have people bust my grapes all the time for stopping at the side of the road or constantly having " junk" in the back of my truck. In a twist of irony those are usually the same "victim mentality" people that I mentioned.
There are those that see a $5 bill on the side of the road. There are those that whine and want to borrow $5. I'd rather be the first kind.
You exactly right son!!. Not going to delve into ym personal life too much, but the girlfriend Im trying to get rid of is "victim mentality" as you call it. She has a college education in teaching with clearances. Never once in her life did she get a job teaching or in daycare. I hear all the time poor me, I need welfare and this and that. I just sit back, enjoy the ride, and dont pay attention. She never will have nothing and just sponges off of me since we have a 3 year old together. If aint me, its mom, etc. iM JUST Sitting in the corner snickering. I push myself HARD and luck is with me. I seem to do alright FINANCIALLY. So I think your right. Also karma is good when you treat people right, which is what I do. So I agree wholehearted! Now if someone wants a worthless mutt that wont even put out..let me know..lmao!!!
