Just because I came across a separate article about jessica alba being a 'self-made millionaire' or something.... I hate that idea..it's very dishonest http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikemyatt/2011/11/15/self-made-man-no-such-thing/
So many people credit themselves for their success....and while that's true to a degree, their success has also been shaped by society How soon people forget
The problem is they don't have to give credit to reap rewards. It helps to fuel our collective narcissism and gross sense of unearned individuality
self-made used to be a term to refer to those who didn't come from or use their family money to build their wealth or position. Obviously, no one can do it all alone. Funny cause if you notice those who build it and lose it typically do once they get really arrogant and think it was all them.
