It's actually not difficult for someone to make something of themselves: modest achievements only require goal-oriented focus.

People often focus on those who fail against the trend of the times, sifting through the remnants of success to find their trajectories, but once you strip away those after-the-fact explanations, the truth tends to be: it's a resonance of the era's grand trends with personal efforts that creates uncertainty in individual cases.
Those who fail by going with the era's trends are no fewer than those who fail against them. Critiquing the hero-centered view of history carries significant value in certain historical periods, but those who entirely dismiss the hero-centered view are either bad or foolish.
