What was a moment when people doubted you but you got the last laugh?

The political situation in the US. Covid, future of the democratic party, etc.

There were a lot of things that I called out years ago that people called me an idiot for saying.

Lots of condescending smirks, lots of sneers, lots of sarcasm, lots of being told I was gullible, conspiracy theorist, fool when I would point out things I thought were obvious.

I've turned out to be indisputably right about everything. I have only gotten one apology (it wasn't even really an apology; it was more of a "you called it."). Not like I'm holding my breath for them. It would be nice for more people to acknowledge that I was right though.

When my wife pointed out that it would take me going 85 miles an hour to get home in time for the event. I got home about 10 minutes earlier than I said.

Imagine growing up constantly drawing characters from art movies you watched as a kid, only to have people tell you that art is just a "hobby" and not a real career path. 🎨 When I was in high school, even some of my closest friends and teachers doubted my passion for art. They couldn't see how watching Asian films and painting anime characters would amount to anything substantial. It felt like they were just waiting for me to fail so they could say, "Told you so."

Fast forward a few years, I found myself at various film festivals like Cannes, discussing the very movies and art that I loved.✨ Not to mention, my artwork got featured in exhibitions, and I even got commissions to work on indie film projects. The looks on their faces when I shared these achievements were priceless. It was a classic case of "I told you so," but with me getting the last laugh! 😄 Success tastes even sweeter when you've overcome doubt to achieve it.

When I went all in at a poker table with my last 5k I had saved aside in a separate savings account…. I won 35k with that one hand. Took out my former boss and his two sons.
