yea, "winning" is a low twist on it. i do think its a byproduct of capitalism

i guess profit is the real evil entity. im trying to think... if you provide value then someone exchanging their money for it doesn't matter. i earn x, i think this is valued at x, im willing to give you what i earned for x. that is fair and that makes sense. do you have to have profit? what you need is a genuine way to earn that money, then i dont think you need profit. it would all be equal exchanges of value

and no that is not communistic. if x guy provides more value then he'd be worth more; theoretically, that does not mean he has to profit more (in every individual sale). quantitively, of course

but "profit" is what creates winners and losers. profit = winner and the guy/ girl who bought his chit for more is the loser

im not totally positive its necessary. and there are a lot of intricacies involved

Good point. Like people think they are better than everyone because they are a manager or supervisor or they have a title to put on social media but that means nothing. I work hard. I’m probably considered the lowest at both my jobs but I make good money at the end of the week. My brother has a degree and was making 90 grand a year and somehow has no money. I just go to work and the gym. What the hell are you buying where you have no money

LOL at people who take some sort of weird pride in doing honest hard work and refuse to take advantage of a clear shortcut to get ahead when it's there for the taking.

I'm looking out for #1 and no one else. And guess what, so is every other creature on this planet. Deal with it. Eat or be eaten. You can either sit back and cry that this is how the world is or you can adapt and thrive in it. Regardless, this is how the world is.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

People who go above and beyond within there job role will be taken advantage off. Only works in a direct sales environment.

The most successful people i have ever come across are the laziest in relation to actual work output, but are willing to take big risks on a whim.
