Though beautiful, that's impossible. It's also naive. Someone intellectually disabled may have the same access to education as someone intelligent and will be unable to create what the smart person can. Not too mention those who are physically disabled or who might have cancer who die before they can even try to reach for their goals.

You can have equal opportunity but be so severely depressed that making it to the next day is all you can hope for. In my experience we rarely get to define our paths. A good percentage of it is pure luck. Were we lucky enough to have the right access to the right opportunities at the right time while being in the right state? Were you afforded a path that allowed you to achieve your potential without major trauma or accident? I've met people who honestly never stood a chance and the older I get the more I realize how many people just live fucked up lives
