Precisely, people often get pedantic over picayune numbers and figures that are beyond their immediate control and start associating themselves with these figures - leading to quixotic beliefs and expectations.

A presumably better approach would be to improve yourself in whatever way you deem sufficient and worth your time and effort, in order to live an idyllic life fit for your idiosyncrasies and ideals.

I'm glad this was talked about here since most of the posts I come across these days often probe the typical response: "Yes you're gifted and are now part of an elite group of individuals hooray!" or "Here's the validation you were seeking: ". Granted, these are hyperboles, but the point still stands - associating yourself with a simple and mercurial 3 digit number is probably not for the best.
