"What you can offer" is not the same as "what others think you can offer". So it is absolutely different.

  Not really, because you can do quite well based on what others think you can offer and not what you actually offer. So we're back to square one and there is no meaningful difference.

    That makes absolutely no sense. You are saying that because person A offers nothing yet succeeds, person B is unable to succeed whether or not people think he offers anything. As long as you can succeed in spite of what other think you can offer, they are not the same.

      Nice try on changing the goalposts. Success is not the value being compared, so your argument is immaterial. I had thought you were making a different argument in my last reply.

        What is the value being compared?
