    studying doesn’t work (my “rich dad” got rich being an analphabet owner of stores)

    This is fundamentally the same argument as:

    The lottery works (my “rich dad” won it)

    You have to think with expected value over large samples with stuff like this. For every analphabet dad that risks by opening a store and succeeds, how many have failed and we don’t hear their stories?
