Growing up, I've always wanted to be super intelligent, accomplished, tall, athletic, and good looking. I am none of those things. Barely could even count as "smart." One could blame it on the fact that I had an abusive mother, grew up dirt poor and "barely not homeless," and came from a family of ugly overweight freaks. But I don't buy it as an excuse. I have to own up to my own failures in life. Do you think your background plays a huge part in how successful of a person you'll end up becoming, or does it not matter?
No, it's not as significant if you were already given every opportunity to succeed.
Yes, it's still significant despite all the extra advantages.

Another way to word the question:
Is being successful still as valuable or noteworthy if you basically had no chances to fail due to wealth or societal privileges?
