2. 而那些混的不好的人，总想着鸿运当头，一夜暴富，或者突然得到某个贵人的提携，继承大量的资源。哪有天上掉馅饼的好事，不付出持久的努力，哪里会有突然到来的惊喜。

2. However, those who are not doing well always dream of luck striking them, becoming wealthy overnight, or suddenly receiving support from a noble patron, inheriting a vast amount of resources.

7. 你看社会上那些成功人士，要么就是代代接力，后辈站在前辈的肩膀之上，成就了自己的高度。要么就是自己默默蓄力，深耕细作，千锤百炼，不屈不挠，愈挫愈勇，最后守得云开见月明，找到了自己想要的精彩。

7. Look at those successful individuals in society. Some of them have achieved their heights by passing on the baton from generation to generation, with successors standing on the shoulders of their predecessors.

They have become braver after each setback, and finally, they have seen the clouds part and the moon emerge, finding the exciting life they have always desired.
