Not at all. You definitely aren't in the US.
Success rates are low! The stated funding rates by the NSF are around 25%. Depending on the program, rates for NIH tend to be a lot lower. R01 success rates are below 20%. Keep in mind, you're competing with the best and most recognizable names every time. This skews success rates, as a new or average researcher (I mean average as in, the mean person, not as in "mediocre") your rates will be lower.
