The problem with that, you are always asking someone todo something. I am not disagreeing that some people have a stronger safety net, but everyone has to ask somebody for something to succeed. Very rarely can you just succeed without outside influence. Be it a random connection or someone you grew up living next door to.

I agree that you need help, but I think the difference is not having a personal safety net and “earning” help from others by doing good work, not having it handed to you by default.

There’s always chance, but I see a distinction.
