It's not about the hours you put in, it's about what you do when you are there
This.
one of the best qualities some self made guys have is learning to fail and failing fast. Start over doing something else that is profitable. Learn from your previous failure so you don't make the same mistakes again.

success comes through proximity
following the steps first of your father and mother then others in time
hard work is only necessary for those born a far way from individuals taking righteous steps
all matters are essentially predetermined

i feel like hard work (adopting the atittude) changes your perspectives on gains and losses and your beliefs on what success is 
Your a cac those kinds things get handed to y'all at 27..real brehs with melanin have a harder time but I know you can't comprehend why because of your lack of melanin

Ditch Diggers work hard but never end up rich.
Its about working hard at working smart.
Thinking ahead, planting seeds, and being strategic.

You work hard AND you work smart. It's like mining for precious minerals. Do you just plow wherever you think is right and hope for the best? Or, do you find out exactly where you need to mine, gather the necessary tools, and dig with the correct amount of effort and technique?
I'd say your Uncle was very successful. Maybe he didn't have his corner store becoming a huge franchise like Wal-Mart, but if he had a decent income coming in and people loved the service he provided, then he won. He may not have even went into the business to become wealthy, maybe he was more concerned about wanting to serve his community with quality products while working earnestly in good conscience. I can't say, since I never met the man. But did you ever ask your uncle what he felt? If you hadn't, you might be surprised what he might've told you. It's cliche, but sometimes, it's not about the money to some people. It's about making a difference and making other people's day easier. That's its own reward.
Yeah, some people can work hard and never end up anywhere. I'm not disagreeing with you at all. It does happen, and quite a lot. My point is, success is a benchmark that only that person can really make for themselves. To label someone's efforts as unsuccessful, you'd have to know what their definitions of success were. For all we know, some of the people we think are unsuccessful are actually right where they want to be. So you never know. Can't always rely on what you see alone, cause it could very well be deeper than the surface will show you.

Something like Aerospace engineering is not a common field people get into point blank. If I got a degree in Aerospace engineering/worked on projects/made connections I'm working at SpaceX or Boeing regardless of me being black.
No I can comprehend why slime, but that doesn't
one of his classmates is an African guy, he is doing great for himself as well . I know blacks do have disadvantages in some situations, while whites have it easier, but I can assure you this is not one of those situations. If it makes you feel better I'm struggling.
