    Ya i’ve thought about success in this kind of context too. Michael Schumacher is/was also similar.

    Raw talent, was in the right place to develop that talent at the right age (nashville and europe), physical attributes (she’s cute as a button. and he’s light and fit enough to be competitive in carts), parents’ support (and often, their wealth), mental fitness etc.

    When someone has all these attributes it’s stacking multiple compounding boosts and they become absurdly successful.

      Textbook case of privilege - good fortune is not a bad thing, but it truly can give that extra boost. Unless you’re super talented, and super hardworking and fits the job you want e.g. Oprah. Or else can cincai do stuff and still be successful… Like uh… 🦆 scarves hahahaha
