> Those talented, hard-working people

I can assure you that most people in the world have neither of those attributes.

Considering these attributes are relative by definition, it's a fact that half of the population is harder working than average, and half of the population is more talented than average. But when you add in the context that there are numerous ways to be hard working or talented (e.g. someone may suck at reading, but be an extremely disciplined bodybuilder), it becomes pretty much a guarantee that the majority of people are talented or hard-working at something.
