You're right about that one. I guess I was pigeonholing myself and looking at it in a financial standing sort of way. I'm not sure I agree with the raise thing though -- that's something I see all around me. You know, the fellow employees you see come in and BS their way up the ladder, but to this day, I have yet to see one actually last very long. It always seems to come back around and they're eventually back on unemployment or working retail or something while I put my head down and work through it and make my way up the ladder the real way. It's a karma thing, I think. I used to get so jealous when I'd see people pass me on the ladder -- people I didn't think were deserving. But now it barely phases me. I see it as an even better chance to prove my worth because, sooner or later, the people that fake it 'til they make it are exposed and that's when the rest of us move up a rung. That's justice. ;) True, there will always be exceptions to every rule. You’re right about that one. I guess I was pigeonholing myself and looking at it in a financial standing sort of way.

Things like cancer, being born into poverty, not getting the raise you deserve, are all examples of unfair things. With that said, I don't think it changes the list. I would also add to my list a biggy. You get to control how you act and respond to the the situations, rather than let situation control you. I am not sure I agree that life is fair.
