Come on MikeG, you know that is not true. Your odds of making money go way
up with hard work, but hard work is no guarantee of becoming wealthy. An
enjoyable book to read is "LIFE THE ODDS (And How To Improve Them) by
Gregory Baer.
   My life has been made more enjoyable by collecting and learning about
meteorites. Someday, when I sell my collection, I may do well by it, IF
I don't die first. No matter, it has been an enjoyable pastime, along
with chess and mineral collecting and sports and women and my four
children. Yes, meteorites and science are a wonderful slice of life.
So is hard work, no matter the outcome.
