meritocracy article

Why do we fetishise meritocracy when most success is down to luck? | | Independent Editor's choice Blogs

Such slowlane mindsets coming from the comments section in this article.

Funny to see the excuses people come up with for what separates the successful from the unsuccessful.

Some people blaming genetics for success and failure while others correct them with "It's not genetics mate, it's circumstance! You try being born and raised on a south-east London council estate.":eusa_clap:

Another sad quote-

" You can beat yourself up for years trying to make a pile of money or you can simply do what you're good at. Some people are good at making money - they have that talent - others have different talents."
