Hi again Ira - great article. As for me, I am absolutely not afraid of success. Let it come to me, PLEASE!
Like you, I was not brought up in a wealthy family. My parents were terrific, but short of shepherding us all to university, they had no real idea about what it meant to be successful.
My mum should have been. She was an amazing manager of money. And that in their later lives, allowed them to travel.
Looking back on my life, there are so many things I wish I had done, but I think that's a maturity thing.
Keep writing. :)
