    There's an element of luck in everything we do. Should that stop you from taking pride in your own success? No, I don't think so. The world works on luck and chance. It influences everyone, probably in more-or-less equal measures, so it's unfair to pick out one group of people - namely 'the wealthy' - and say that they aren't responsible for, and therefore imply that they don't "deserve", their wealth when in fact no one is 100% responsible for anything they do, including getting involved in crime, the type of job you have, having little money or indeed having lots of it.

    So what exactly is someone meant to do? Not make the best of their situation?
