Africa should be delivering ground breaking work all the time right?
This idea that x person worked a little harder than the rest and therefore he is successful is laughable. There is a range, say 5% or 15% or even 50% ‘worked more than the rest’, ok so what? Do you think you are within 5% or 50% of working x hours more per day before you become the next tech billionaire? You are not. It’s not that easy.
Oh and then there are the struggling artists of the renaissance which all came from the illiterate peasantry struggling to feed themselves.
And the media common folk of today, who come up because they struggle therefore they act, and everyone we see in TV was a nobody before their first big role and just worked really hard right?
Or the government families which somehow if you are the son of a governor your chance of being in government and a high ranking official far outweighs any other factor.
Or if your parents are rich chances of you being rich far outweigh anything else…
But no, alas I’ll let everyone know we gotta push just a little harder and we’ll all be rich.
Struggle breeds stress, which intern breeds health issues. If we didn’t struggle the world would not end, innovation would not stop, WALL-E is just a cartoon.
My last sentence clearly states not everyone picks the right struggle. Also not all countries have equal opportunities the world is not fair. I simply was referring to the 2 examples the original poster was referring to.
