The dangerous fallacy of "You can do it."

Not everyone has the intellect or the physical ability to be the best at things.  Some people have natural talent and some also have the benefit of that talent being nurtured.  There are also those who strive to do something and they do whatever it takes to do it.

Anyone can decide that "anyone can do it" doesn't include them and decide to stay put where they are.

The idea that encouraging someone to follow their dream and use their abilities can be dangerous is ridiculous.  What's dangerous is not believing to the point where you don't try.

There are those who don't accept that their lot in life is to make pizza boxes though they went to college.

I can list several incidents where I was told I would fail but I didn't.  I didn't because I was going to prove the naysayers wrong.

A little intestinal fortitude can go a long way.

BULLSHIT AND NO!

It is simply saying that most people DONT end up billionaires and millionaires.

If everyone were billionaires and millionaires all at the same time, who would do the work?

I am sick of this bullshit of falsely accusing those whom point out math as being "naysayers".

Did you not read my OP. YES is possible for people to move up, and humans would not have cell phones or landed on the moon if we didn't try. I am sick of the false accusation I am claiming nobody try.

I AM simply saying to those who do manage to get to the top, whom are the minority, don't shit on the people you stand on that got you there.
