why intelligent and talented people failpsychology & behavior•3d ago

why are people who genuinely have the skills and qualities to deserve success not where they should be? why can’t they realize their potential? why do they lose positions, titles, and authority they deserve to completely mediocre people who don’t deserve them at all? i want intelligent, talented, capable people to run countries, have a say, and produce real value. but somehow these types of people rarely succeed. instead, wherever there are empty headed, shallow people, they’re the ones who end up successful.
