I will remember survivorship bias. If hard work led to success, then a poor person working three jobs should be rich. I’ve noticed that a lot of these stories are closer to “from rich to richer.” Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard because his family could support his “hobby.” He didn’t have to work three jobs to pay rent, but he is set up as a rags-to-riches story, using elbow grease and grit to become the mogul he is.
