I don't think anyone is truly independently successful. We might be able to make rough comparisons that one person is more independently successful than another, but we all share in the success and failure of other people. I think it's more constructive to talk about whether or not people took full advantage of the opportunities that they had and whether they had more and better opportunities than others.
