This ignores the role of optimism: if you believe you will make it to the top then you are more likely to get there.

While it is true that optimism generally is a sensible approach, I really dislike how it's often used to dismiss the various factors that can make it difficult for some to reach that top, or progress towards it.

Basically, it's good advice when applied to the self, but terrible when applied to others.
