I disagree with the other folks on this page that say that life is suffering and life in five years will be more suffering. That directly contradicts my experience. In many ways my business(es?) are the easiest job(s) I've ever had, and while six years into it I occasionally have a bad day (ask me about Thursday -- still recovering), things are in general on the up and up.

With regards to catching breaks: have you ever heard the phrase "overnight success in only X years"? That characterizes a lot of the breaks which I've personally experienced or had related to me by other people. You sometimes have oh-my-goodness-that's-absolutely-unbelievable-you-are-so-lucky happen to you, but that luck often closely resembles the predictable effects of crystallized hard work.
