Somewhat disagree.

Gladwell has done great studies on this, and while drive will generally help, there is a major component of luck (timing, being born into the right family, knowing the right people, having access to support systems) involved in anyones success.

It's drive and luck

yess i also believe that but even us poor blk ppl can get out of the shit environments through education and a good job. i’ve seen my older sis do it. luck is def a factor but i’m lucky to live in a country that makes opportunities accessible for disadvantaged students and stuff. ik that’s not the case everywhere but even worst case scenario it will still get u further than if u don’t put in effort
