Any unsuccessful people?
If I did that would
Really help me out.

Having a job. With a family of their own.

But since I wrote the poem I realised I knew one person. A distant relative. So the poem is null and void.

Grigori Perelman would disagree with that definition. He is maybe the greatest mathematician alive. He has proved a very difficult conjecture. Then he refused $ 1 million in prize money, saying “I don’t need money and fame when I am able to understand the secrets of the universe”.
He still lives with his mother and never shaves.
