Nothing in your post makes any sense. If you're trying to make a point, you're failing. What I glean from it is you feel there is no point ... that you can't be successful. Therefore your failure becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. "Why try when odds are stacked against me?" That's the Loser's Lament.
Everyday ordinary people succeed. Whites, blacks, Asians, middle easterns, men, women, LGBTQ and lesbian everything in between. I'm not surprised Candee Apple liked your quote. It excuses failure and enables laziness.
Lets make this clear. Lets go back a few hundred years. If your were a black person born in slavery you could stay where you where and try to move up the ranks and become an Uncle Tom - the height of slavery. The smart move however, is to escape and say become the first black mayor of some Ontario city - where you intelligence and drive can come to full ability 200 years before that the same black person could have come to North America and had the same change of success as any other European.
Your odds of success is dependent on the rules and competition you face. Starting you own company you get all the risks and benefits - staying within one you limit yourself. During a frontier stage you only have the choice to start a company (early computer age in computers ) in the middle you have both (Facebook stage) and then as the market saturates starting a company becomes harder and harder as all the easy ideas are taken (Facebook and Ebay is a few lines of copy code really compared to cyrpto currency or the development of the web in the first place which where revolutionary)
Modern example: Any average soccer player can get into the Canadian league now, and make a decent wage. In a few years from now, when they become good, international stars will raise the bar so only a handful of the best can make it. Hard work will not cut it anymore, your need talent as well.
If you can not see this any success you have achieved is by luck and brute force. To ignore obstacles as if they where not there is not the mark of talent.
A clever pretty girl at 18 can enter the sp biz and in 3 years get enough money from nothing to house flip. Say thats what she is made for and she starts earning 25% of her stake yearly. She still LOST 3 years earning her stake. Her friend born with a silver spoon with the same ability is already way ahead of her and will always be ahead of her assuming the same ability and work ethic. Admittedly poor people tend to be more talented, intelligent and driven than people born to money as they gain ambition from knowing what it is to be poor, they have to foster there talent from day one or starve and use there brains instead of sitting on there ass. Its why the 3rd generation rich usually lose there family fortunes (ie Eaton's family)
Its part of the reason tech startups do so well, they hire hungry and ambitious talent.
