Also, the reason we make a big deal about rags-to-riches stories is because they are the exception, not the rule. IOW, the assholes that say sacrifice, work hard, and grind and then you’ll be rewarded with success are full of shit because there are millions of hard workers that will never attain the levels of success these people worship. If everyone who worked hard was rewarded with success there would be nothing to talk about. Those that do strike gold are rare, and far more often than not start with every conceivable advantage to reach that success.
