I wonder why some people who are intelligent, talented, capable, and possess a good set of skills become successful, and others who are equally intelligent, talented, capable and skilled do not become successful.
Some thoughts off the top of my head:
- Social skills
- Being well connected, networking effectively
- Being able to market yourself
- Being from an advantaged socioeconomic class, race, gender: relative privilege in society
- Becoming successful at a young age and progressing from there, building on that
- Putting yourself first, not sacrificing your own ambitions for the sake of others
- Supportive environment
- Working in an area where you're especially passionate and talented
- Having an existing market for what you have to offer
When I think of more possible reasons, I'll add them to the list.
