That HN submission about hard work rubbed me the wrong way. Because people said that being the best is the only thing that matters you literally shouldn't even try if your IQ is too low. The idea that everyone is trying to become the best is wrong. Everyone is trying to find their place in this world and that may sometimes involve trying to become the best.

I don't know why but everyone seems to forget that the average human becomes amazing (not the best) given enough time and opportunity to develop.

Being the best version of yourself. If your IQ is too low, the first step is to improve it. Hard work.
