Some people say that "capital beyond ability is equal to zero" is a joke. What do you think?

You may not believe it, but I first saw this sentence in Zhihu's jokes. The first reaction at that time was that there was so much positive energy, how could anyone regard it as a joke? On second thought, there seems to be nothing wrong. I've been thinking about this question for several days. Is ability important? It's important, no doubt about it. Aren't resources other than ability important? Without resources, you may not have a chance to show your ability at all, so ability becomes a joke.

a person's ability can be cultivated, depending on where you are, so-called seeking politics in his position. You see, before Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he was also a cowherd; Before Liu Bang became emperor, he was just a little rascal. I'm not sure. If you were a different person, assuming you crossed back and put you in Liu Bang's position, you might not be worse than him. It can be seen that opportunity is probably more important than ability.

Buffett's biography will only tell you that he visited the new york Stock Exchange when he was 8 years old, but it will not record that his father was a member of Congress, and the director of Goldman Sachs showed him around. Bill Gates' biography will only record that he dropped out of Harvard University to start a business, but will not record that his mother is an IBM director, and the use of power brought him "the first bucket of gold". We can't say that Buffett and Bill Gates, two legendary figures, are incompetent, but we can boldly assume that if they don't have some help from outside, at least their road to success may not be so easy. It can be said that resources are indispensable on the road to success. /7af4ad162d9f2d3a48d3927a2ec8a136227cc5e? X-BCE-process = image/resize, m _ lfit, w _ 45, h _ 6, limit _ 1/quality, q _ 85

Are there any successful grassroots entrepreneurs? Every era will have some grassroots representatives born, and our era is no exception. For example, the founder of Alibaba, Ma Yun; Wang Jianlin, the boss of Wanda; Li Yanhong, founder of Baidu Company. Their ability is definitely a little higher than the average person, but does their success depend only on their ability? In my opinion, it is also their vision and judgment that have discovered the business opportunities of the Internet and real estate very early. What's more, the hardships behind grassroots entrepreneurship are unimaginable to many people. /f7246b6c338744fce32b45afd9f9d62aa2a?

, this sentence, in my opinion, is a joke, maybe a little crazy, half a joke!

Xiao bian is still young, and maybe some places are not in place. Please forgive me, that is, let's talk about our thoughts in a simple way. The last thing to express is that ability is important, but we should also pay attention to the accumulation of some resources, otherwise, if we have the ability again, we will be a general at most. Welcome knowledgeable and thoughtful people from all walks of life to give advice.
