Honestly, that's really quite rare - and on top of that, you're bordering on trying to say that bullying and putting people down is a good thing.
The people I know who've struggled with bullying, family issues, and similar, tend to want to do well but struggle due to insecurities and mental issues in no small part exacerbated by this treatment throughout the first couple of decades of their life. As a result, things like "holding down a job at the supermarket", or even "turning up every day for volunteering", are achievements for many people who've suffered from these issues, never mind "succeeding" in the way that you define it.
- chillacy 11y agoWhen an archer is shooting for nothing, he has all his skill. If he shoots for a brass buckle, he is already nervous. If he shoots for a prize of gold, he goes blind or sees two targets — He is out of his mind! His skill has not changed. But the prize divides him. He cares. He thinks more of winning than of shooting– And the need to win drains him of power. From the poet zhuang zhou. I also have friends who have extreme insecurities brought on by bullying and family issues and have a strong drive to succeed, and I can agree that I don't envy having these issues, because as focused as they are, they also mentally suffer with every setback and constantly battle anxieties as they chase their goals.
