This reads like it was written when you were drunk
What I think you're saying is that you believe that the difference between wealth and poverty is simply whether or not you win the lottery of life. And anyone who is successful, probably got there by accident.
It's not hard to look at large groups of successful people and identify the common threads. Did you put up a good effort in school? Did you say no to drugs? Did you avoid getting a girl pregnant? Etc etc.
It's not unreasonable to ask those people to help others find the same path.
