everyone can become rich. most rich become rich by working harder than everyone else or having a special talent. work hard and you too can become rich!

So, do you have a million dollars lying around that you can bet people regarding this?  If not, why not?  After all, if EVERYONE can become rich, then surely you are, right?

One form of rationalization people do, who refuse to admit they are stuck and won't be able to change things, is to end up setting very high standards, that means they can deal with it, if they just remove this or that, or do this or that.  You see it from smokers, and addicts.  They will go, "I can quit at any time."  Rather than face the prospects that they won't be able to do it, because things are just too unmanageable, and not possible the way things are, they say this.  Same happens with people rationalizing they can get rich.  There is a good chunk of luck that goes into getting rich that is required, IN ADDITION TO, working harder and being more gifted than anyone else.  To deny this is to deny reality.

That being said, it is very possible you are practicing sarcasm here.  If you were, you probably need to go a bit more over the top to make it clear.
