>90 % is hard work and consistent effort! Eh.. ok let's go with that. But you know what? That 10% allowed them to have the chance to even do that, whereas other people don't even get the opportunity. It's a lot easier then to make "the 90% effort" when you are basically handed the start. Let's take some physical beast like Lebron James. Has he worked hard? Of course. Was he gifted with an insane physique? Absolutely. My argument is it was much easier him to just "put in the effort" given his start than someone who is built just average. I'm not trying to diminish people's effort by any means- but it's also not fair to act like these people just made themselves what they are out of no where- and that "anyone can do the same!". I would argue it's the same with intellect. I look at how I've done and sure I've worked hard, but I was also gifted with some good skills that most people just don't have. It really has me look at things differently as I've gotten older- because it's just another type of privilege. Why is it fair that I get to make so much more money and have it easier than someone else just because I happen to have more natural talent for math etc? Anyway, I think sometimes it's just good to take a good hard look at how people actually become "successful" and most of the time it starts off by something that the person never earned. So maybe we all need to be more humble and realize that everyone is trying hard in life- most people just weren't born as lucky as others.
