Everyone understands stories differently.
Your vision determines your trajectory. When someone treats everything around them as capital—something that can be monetized—they easily find opportunities to make money. Starting with small profits and building from there, they eventually step up to a larger stage.
A group of people submit resumes. If you're the only one with a prestigious degree among them, it becomes your advantage. Once you're in the company, everyone's from top schools—then it's no longer an advantage. You notice everyone's a tech guy except you, who's articulate—then articulateness becomes your edge. But when everyone's articulate and you're the only one who understands tech, that becomes your advantage.
Making money — did you actually pull it off? Spending money — can you deliver on what you buy? Achieving either of those is impressive.
So if you can't do it, the first thing you need to learn is respect — respect for those who can.
Success is rarely replicable, but failure can be avoided by learning from past mistakes.
