Called being born rich.
Plenty of idiots succeed because success was granted to them the day they were born.
____________
Also, a lot of times when you see an idiot succeeding, the idiot is a face for people to criticize while the master minds go about doing their magic, unseen.
- AbrahamParangi 6y agoBeing rich isn't the same as succeeding.
- koheripbal 6y agoNo, but there's definitely a correlation, on average.
- screye 6y agoIn this context, most commenters are implying society's perception of success which is intimately tied to money. If the definition of success is completely left to a person's own devices, the whole argument of the "game" falls apart too. Since there is no game to play.
- tcgv 6y agoThere are also plenty of people who weren't born rich, played the game well, and "made it". Probably not as much as those who were born rich and got a head start.
- typon 6y agoBy "plenty" you mean roughly < 5% of the population. [1] https://thumbor.forbes.com/thumbor/960x0/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs-images.forbes.com%2Faparnamathur%2Ffiles%2F2018%2F07%2FUS-inc.-mobility.jpg https://thumbor.forbes.com/thumbor/960x0/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs...
