Of course there are successful people who are evil. Not all successful people are evil. It depends on what a person was willing to do to be successful. A "Faustian" agreement is one wherein a person sells his soul to the devil, in exchange for the promise of great success. Not every ambitious person got there by making such a deal.

You seem to have a plan for your future where, if you succeed, you'll take the credit . . . but if you fail, you'll blame your father. That's not a good start.
