I think you've mixed your metaphors up a little.

One doesn't desire to reach the summit of an iceberg. I don't think and iceberg even has a summit.

The iceberg metaphor is that you only see a small part of someone's success. You see the results but you do not see the effort.

And, further to your point, wouldn't "looking under the water" in this case show the effort you already put in to get the success? And not previously undiscovered territory to "climb"?

Look under the water to reach the summit? Climb that iceberg?

Eh?

Shouldn't... it be an iceberg?

Sometimes you don’t always get an iceberg and life is all about adapting and thriving with what you do have, op is simply using law of attraction and manifestation to manifest an iceberg /s

Since when being successful is toxic?

You thought "This" meant "being successful"?

Let me get this straight, your available brain cells looked at that comment, and thought he was saying "Being successful is a recipe for toxic shit"? That was more plausible to you than the obvious fact that he's talking about the fucking post? The message in the post? The mentality that's represented in the post? That's what leads to toxic shit? Get it...?

Look I know people say ur born with an IQ and it stays the same forever, but the brain still needs exercise to get stronger just like a muscle. Muscles need exercise or they will atrophy you know? Your "muscle" seems like it's atrophying. Tend to it.

I'd love to discuss with you if you had no superiority complex which you clearly have, which can be seen by how you want to make yourself seem better than me. No, being sarcastic and making your point to diminish me or my IQ doesn't make you a genius, bro. Seriously, touch some grass.

You forgot Luck, which accounts for a pretty large portion

Just a while ago I said to someone: "Entrepreneurs are the true saviour of the world. They take risks and numerous other obstacles to generate employment, income and livelihood for everyone else."

And, now your post.

Success is arbitrary and completely dependent on who decides to give inflated amounts of currency to. It's all luck of the draw in what the consumer demands out of the services desired.

Jean-Though t1_j0hb46z wrote

The fact that "Luck" isn't present in this list makes it unrealistic & extremist.

Empirical research shows that late nights don’t help someone achieve success, unless you sleep in the next day. Quality sleep matters.

But sometimes success is just relationship with a Big Boss ((
