There Are So Many Reasons People Lose
there really are so many reasons people lose.
It's very much why 2 people out of 1000 succeed.
Most don't care. Some care but are lazy. Some just don't get it. It's so many reasons, but the end is the same. 0 or 1? Kinda like code. Did it run successfully? That's all that matters, in the end.
Eg university, eg marrying someone etc. Idk. But yeah that's why objectivity is important.
Because, more often than not, if someone, no matter how impressive they may be in that moment, failed at something that was achievable, in the long run, they won't be a winner.
This I believe is why selective universities are important. The baseline human being is simply a greater average, which makes sense.
This is why Google probably only hired people from selective universities in the beginning. It's a very good filter (intelligence, social skills, hard work, etc.)
