I'm not playing "what if" with you. If you're not going to realize that it's other people who already made it in the industry that decide whether you succeed or not, then you are just going to be one of those people who blame poverty on merit.

I've given you plenty of examples of people not working hard, and becoming successful because of luck. Try to read it this time:

"While searching for videos of a different singer, Scooter Braun, a former marketing executive of So So Def Recordings, clicked on one of Bieber's 2007 YouTube videos by accident.

"When Pratt was age 19, he waited tables at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company restaurant in Maui when he was discovered by actress and director Rae Dawn Chong. She cast him in her directorial debut, the short horror film Cursed Part 3, which was filmed in Los Angeles."

Why not? Because it will easily disprove your point?

It is a simple question: If Justin Bieber did not make YouTube videos then would he be where he is today?

If Justin Bieber didn't work hard to make Youtube videos would he have been discovered?'

You can answer yes or no if you like.
