> It is important to accept and understand that a lot of your success in life is due to things outside of your control.

That's a generalization and takes away from people's agency. for luck to play a part in your life, you need to show up and work.

Sure, but lots of people show up and work hard but only make minimum wage. The privilege is that your hard work earns a lot more money than someone else's hard work.

I love this twisted thinking.

When my peers were partying and having a great time I was spending nights at the computer learning stuff.

I made this sacrifice willingly. Years later I'm reaping the benefits of that sacrifice which I think I earned and is fair but still some people who don't like others to be successfull will call me privileged like it was all magically bestowed upon me.

We all had the same start. I choose a different path that cost me a lot.

And you have the nerve to call me privileged. Wow.
