Wealth compounds. The effort/merit the individual puts in is analogous
to a rate of investment return. 20% “Merit” applied to nothing is nothing. 1% “Merit”
applied to a Billion Dollars is Ten Million Dollars. True meritocracy would need
to take into account the story involved. To allow for the divisor. The resources
that are available. Otherwise you are being fooled by smoke and mirrors. The
groundwork for a small business is arduous. It can take years to get to a point
where an owner can afford to pay themselves a reasonable salary. Some people
helping lay the groundwork in the beginning may simply not be able to afford to
push through that period. Endurance and resilience can have nothing to do with the
quality of creativity involved. An idea may be fantastic, but lack the
necessary support, capital, and ability to withstand knocks. The reality is
building endurance and resilience needs to come first. Not pretty, but very necessary.
The forwards win the match. The backs determine the scoreline.
Endurance and Resilience
