Nothing is an absolute guarantee. No matter what the path.
This is a ridiculous statement. You attempt to defend "business as success" by arguing success is never guaranteed. While being a silly argument, more importantly you seem to completely miss what your parent was talking about- he was not discussing how your business might not be successful, but that for many people, success in business != success in life. In the same way that money != happy.

I thought I was pointing out the obvious, but I guess not. Are you one of those people that believes that if you go to college you automatically get a job at the end? It's not guaranteed, but I would still recommend it because it will help you get a job. You are the one being ridiculous here.
The guy I was replying somehow thinks that the book is a guidebook and a guarantee at success. It's not. I was pointing that out.

Really? His parents were not successful at business so how can that even be used as an example?
If he was really trying to point something like this out, give me an example of someone that is successful at business but not at life.
From my personal experience, once you figure out what it takes to be successful at business, you will be successful at many other things in life.
