>But the hare is the person who never bothers to train or improve beyond their natural talents

That wasn't may point. My point was that if everyone applied themselves, not everyone would even reach Ronaldo's level. Otherwise every hardworking person in Namibia or Zimbabwe would be Elon Musk wealthy by now.

But they aren't. Why is that? is it because they didn't apply themselves as hard as Musk? Or is it because opportunities in life are limited, no matter how hard you work, and getting them is a lottery of birth and of chance.
