Both your YouTube channel and your book are about your apps.
My YouTube channel is about cars.
My book is about my family. It's an autobiography. Only half the book is about apps, because well, that's the adult part of my autobiography.
Nobody would be consuming that content if you didn't get a lucky break on the App Store.
Okay, then how many successful YouTube channels/books have other successful app developers created? You think it's easy to create a famous YouTube channel that has nothing to do with your apps? My YouTube channel is not even mentioned in my apps. In fact, my YouTube channel is popular because I marketed it well. And I marketed it well because I learned how to do marketing from selling game mods. And I was selling game mods years before I started creating apps. You see, I'm also a popular game modder. But that's a whole other chapter of my life. The list of my achievements go on and on. But you'll always call it "lucky break" anyway, so whatever. I'm not going to waste my time listing all of them to someone who's stubborn in their beliefs.
You were even privileged enough to afford college
I went to a public college, and got a partial scholarship due to my high grades in high school. And then I paid off my tuition while working at college.
People have full-time jobs and can't afford medicine in this country.
What does that have to do with the American Dream? 40% of Americans are also obese. Over 2/3 of Americans are overweight. Do you believe that being at a normal BMI is impossible because most Americans "can't" achieve a normal BMI? Because the truth is that they can, if they actually tried. And yet, they don't. So they're going to come up with whatever excuses they have to explain why it's other people's fault for them being fat, when in reality, they just like taking the easy way out. So are you the type of person who uses excuses? Or are you finally going to own up to some personal responsibility? Don't answer that. They're rhetoric questions that are supposed to help you understand that you can achieve more than you thought you could.
Because think about it. You like to draw, right? Your drawing is good, but it's not great. You're probably not going to become a millionaire with that kind of drawing skills. But did you know that there many great artists who drew at the same level as you did at some point? Do you think they gave up on their dreams and said it's impossible? Nope. They practiced and practiced and learned from their mistakes to get better at it.
These are real people. Real examples of what hard work and dedication can do. But you still don't believe it in it? You don't think that great artists exist? Or you think that they just became great artists because they got "lucky" and drew a masterpiece out of "luck" rather than practice?
