These lines of reasoning (it's talent/money, not work/grit/focus) appeal to those who don't want to take responsibility for their own success or failure.

- darkmighty 11y agoIt's not a "line of reasoning", it's finding the truth about requisites for achievement. Just because they bother you don't make them false.
- Someone1234 11y agoThe line of reasoning that money or social status play no role appeal to those who have it and who want to think of themselves as entirely "self-made." It wasn't the millions of dollars I got handed or the premium education, no, it was pure grit and hard work. You see this all the time with rich people. They're the kids of even richer people but yet still are "self-made" who "started out with nothing" and did it through "hard work."
- Quanticles 11y agoYeah, you see a few people with wealthy beginning say that. You also see plenty of success stories of people with much humbler beginnings say that. Which you choose to focus on is either going to motivate you to work hard or be an excuse to not.
