    * That its spelled with one 'c'.

    * That it's limited to money and/or possessions.

    LOL, would you believe that when I first wrote this post, I originally spelled it with one c, then had to go back and correct it?

  • That success is always equated with money.   I guess it all depends on someone's definition of what being successful is.

    I think the biggest misconception people have is that it's somehow directly tied to one's moral virtue, hard work, decision-making, and the like.

    The evidence of history strongly suggests some behaviors can bias outcomes towards success, but it is ultimately the product of a great deal of randomness.
