each of sharing our own experiences. all can be true. :-)
well, my line of thought was simply in spite of talent, i have had

who were ignored or made to put ten/ hundred time more effort to
attain
something which is generally felt as success.
not true - if they have talent they will succeed - I know hundreds of
europeans whose mother tongue is not english and many Indians whose
mother tongue is not english and who have succeeded. Dont forget,
germans for example, study in german medium and succeed. Linus
Torwald's mother tongue is swedish, he studied in finnish medium and
he succeeded. And don't forget all the bengalis who have studied in
bengali medium and have succeeded.
