We aren't talking about nepotism, plenty of average people make it thanks to their skills, unless you're from the slums of somalia, there is always a possibility. You don't have to be super successful either. You need to comfortable with bad experiences if you want to live a regular middle class life as well. Obtaining and maintaining stable relationships with future partners, co workers, kids and extended family will always require you to have a certain level of confidence and persistence. You can't just give up at even the sign that a bad thing is about to occur. This is just how life works, you can't be a b***h for the rest of it and expect it to work out. Some peoples circumstances mean they might have to work harder for that confidence but you can't just b***h about how some people are "born" to be successful if you ever want to go anywhere in life.
