Taking Up Space In Time

I have always found it odd sometimes how in a high school graduating class of 250, less than 10% are relatively successful as defined by national median income and less than 1% actually become super wealthy and this takes into consideration professional athletics which has, for years, skewed the results...  but now science is beginning to discover that some people are simply born with a different personality and character that simply provides them with whatever they need both mentally and physically to become incredibly successful.

MOST OF US ARE NOT BORN WITH THIS CHARACTER and it is not something that can be acquired or developed, it is just there inside some of us at birth.

Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson are perfect examples of this phenomenon and no matter how hard we try we will never be their equals when it comes to the skills and abilities they possessed.

Throughout history we have seen these people as well, like:
  1. Wolfgang Mozart
  2. William Shakespeare
  3. Genghis Khan
  4. Marco Polo
  5. Isaac Newton
  6. Leonardo da Vinci
  7. Michelangelo 
  8. Pablo Picasso
  9. Thomas Jefferson
  10. Albert Einstein
  11. Bill Gates
  12. Steve Jobs
AND...  I suppose that there are many more...  but, you get the point...  some of us will be successful and wealthy while most of us will not and all of this depends quite honestly on the moment of birth and the character with which the baby is blessed.

SO...  what does this mean for the vast majority of us?  Nothing much other than we will be quite ordinary and live a meaningful but ordinary life and die an ordinary death accomplishing little while we were alive other than taking up space in time.
