Forum Overview :: Rants :: This is a good way to know that someone didn't succeed on the basis of talent

[quote name="motherfuckerfoodeater"][quote name="Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS)"] But to go back to my original point, nobody is ever successful without a great deal of luck (being in the right place at the right time; hitting a fad; finding an underserved or unserved market and figuring out what it wants or needs), assistance from a lot of other people, skill, and other factors. [/quote] Someone smart enough to be successful because of their talents is also smart enough to recognize that good fortune also played an important role in their rise. If someone says they succeeded on talent alone you know that talent has nothing to do with their success.[/quote]
