This feels overly optimistic about a lot of points. Maybe even to the point of toxic positivity, in my opinion. The main question is a good one, but the rest of the article reads like celebration of the sayings found on motivational posters.

I want to be successful so that I can do the things I want to do in life without worrying about providing for my family. I don't need fancy things or an important title.


Learning from failure can be a luxury. Poor people can't afford to fail, and rich people can fail constantly, and still succeed. Nobody ends up learning anything.
