The dangerous fallacy of "You can do it."

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Do what you love. "Success" is often improperly applied, as I'm convinced that as long as you do what you actually like doing (chores notwithstanding), then any "success" you achieve doing that is just an added bonus.

And it wouldn't hurt if that which you love doing somehow adds value to yourself and your surroundings.

Certainly ideal, but for most, not a majority. It certainly IS what most people want, and nobody should discourage if they have the opportunity. And if you do what you love, and things pan out, good for you. 

My only argument is that most people WONT end up on top. Most people can try to do what they love, but most people also have bills to pay. And very few people get to the top. 

I find it far more important that humans see individuals as such, not wealth. If one wants to try to do something, they should try. But at the same time, it is wrong to lie to someone about odds. No different than a lottery ticket. It is true people do win the big jackpot, but most wont. What most people can do however, is work and save.

Again, you seem to be equating wealth to success. One can be successful without making it ‘to the top’.
