Why do you care about stuff like that? Maybe you are on a different path, a better path. I think if you really think about it, you don't want to be like them anyhow. That kind of lifestyle comes with a lot of sacrifices and those people miss out on a lot of simple stuff, which comes free and which is priceless and much more valuable than anything money can buy. You're just being childish and envious, two traits that aren't becoming to an adult.
God gives you everything you need. Stop looking at others and envying what they have. Firstly it's a sin, and secondly it poisons the mind and heart and keeps you from finding your true path.
There was a time I had all that money too and it served a purpose, but what I have now is much more precious and I won't sacrifice "being successful" again if I have to forfeit my life the way it is now. I can do without the money. What I can't do without is the joy and peace of mind my life is now. I don't want to complicate that and mess it up with ridiculous tasks that just line someone else's pockets. The best things in life are free, and if you have good friends, you get to share in their lives and friends fill your needs quite nicely...so share what you do have with others, and they will share what they have with you.
Believe me, we don't hurt and don't lack for anything even if we're not as rich as the Joneses. People like us and we like them, and many plants grow from those seeds, believe you me!!!!

When I was a child and I received 'punishment' from my father I was told that I was being 'disciplined' and as a result, as I grew older whenever I was told that I needed discipline I subconsciously rejected that suggestion because I identified 'discipline' as 'punishment' and of course I didn't want to inflict punishment upon myself and as a result I avoided personal discipline until I was in my forties. Big mistake on my part. I had a similar problem with 'responsibility'. I now realize that I am 'responsible' for every circumstance and condition in my own life.
Yours is most likely a case of mistaken perception about the "aggressive jerks".

I was once told by top line management that I was too nice a guy to ever succeed in business. That's when I got out of management. I couldn't be the a**hole it took to do the dirty to my fellow workers, customers, vendors or people in general. Since then I have had no use for a person who is charge of a whole lot of people. I know how he got there and I don't trust him any further than I can spit.

Well anger won't get it We have good people and Jerks as you call them But still don't get what the question is about aggressive jerks????
Ignore them that's best to do why let people in cyberspace get you bent out of shape? Anger is not good , It's negative and a waste of good energy . Forget it and move on to something productive

Success is not determined by money, job status, or social status. Success is determined by how you treat people through out your life opon this earth. Being able to love people regardless of race, employment status, or religous choice is what you have to accomplish. If you can attain these things in life, you will be far more successful that any aggressive jerk will ever be.

Easy success is nothing more than the outcome of vulgar self-assertion. That they are or were aggressive jerks is incidental. I commend the potency of your wrath. But I hope your wrath can supercede any esteem for "success" and those who congratulate themselves with it. Those who master their wrath will be the blessed ones, the "masters of life".

Nice guys do finish last....how are measuring their success, by how much money or fame they have? You are a successful person, you just have to see yourself for who you are and not compare yourself to them....you really don't know what their life is like, you just see what they show you....so give up the negative thoughts and just be the best person you can be, and you will be successful, money does not mean success. God Bless.

Why are you feeling sorry for yourself? You are angry because you didn't do anything with your life. It is never the jerks fault, it's yours. Your life is your own. Not anyone else's. Do your thing, whatever it is and be successful. Always, start with yourself, it's the only clay you have.

i`m assuming your reference to success means they have more money than you? Money is not a measure of success,success is a personnal thing,think about it, you don`t know how these people live their lives behind closed doors there is every chance they are miserable on the inside just keep thinking that and you`ll be fine.p.s. i`m homeless.

I think society is designed to cater to these people now-a-days. The heartless backstabbers hell-bent on personal gain are the same people Corporate America wants to be wearing their suit and tie.
Me personally, I don't know how they sleep at night. There's gotta be another way to succeed.
