Val, you speculate that highly talented people are more likely to overcome adversity. But what kind of talent?

There are people who could build a house, or make a dress while what I make is makeshift. And also fear has a large part when you are in survival mode. You have to be willing to take risks.

There was another post about Myer Briggs. I remember taking this in first year in college but they also gave us a test about risk taking. Very few people will take risks, no matter how talented.

People don't like stepping out of the comfort zone for a variety of reasons. You generally keep your job by staying in the comfort zone. Questioning authority doesn't work well for many people. Hence why you have to become an entrepeneur.
