Success is luck

 

 

 

  Imagine lining up everyone in the world in order of their income. You might think that it would take a long time to gather all of the data and arrange everyone in the correct order. However, I can confidently tell you that half of the people in line could be placed based on their country of birth without even studying their individual characteristics

 

  For example, European countries such as Switzerland and Sweden consistently rank among the top 10 countries in the world in terms of income. The U.S also ranks high on this list. On the other hand, countries in Africa such as Congo and Somalia consistently rank at the bottom of the list. 

 

  This does not mean that Africans are not working hard or trying their best. In fact, many people in developing countries work much harder than people in developed countries. However, it is important to recognize that where you are born has significant impact on your financial success. 

 

  One of the main reasons for this is that access to education and other resources varies widely across countries. People born in developed countries have access to high-quality education and training, which gives them a significant advantage in the workforce. People born in developing countries, on the other hand, often do not have access to the same resources. 

 

  It is important to note that individual effort also plays a role in financial success. However, it is important to recognize that where you are born can have a significant impact on your financial success, even if you work hard and do your best. 

 

 


 

Person 1: Did you know that where you're born can have a big impact on how much money you make?

Person 2: Really? I didn't realize that.

Person 1: Yeah, it's true. For example, if you're born in Switzerland or Sweden, you're more likely to be wealthy than if you're born in Congo or Somalia.

Person 2: But why is that?

Person 1: Well, there are a few reasons. First, people in developed countries like Switzerland and Sweden have access to better education and training. This gives them a big advantage in the workforce.

Person 2: That makes sense.

Person 1: Another reason is that there are more economic opportunities in developed countries. People have more choices about what kind of work they want to do, and they're more likely to be able to find high-paying jobs.

Person 2: So, even if people from developing countries work hard, they're still less likely to make as much money as people from developed countries?

Person 1: That's right. Of course, individual effort also plays a role in financial success. But it's important to recognize that where you're born can have a significant impact on your financial success, even if you work hard and do your best.

Person 2: That's something to think about.

Person 1: It sure is. And it's a reminder that we're all fortunate to live in the countries that we do. We should never look down on people who earn less money because of their background or circumstances.
