We are all blessed with more talents and abilities than we can possibly use. 

I believe successful people realize this and act accordingly.  They provide goods and services people need and want. They focus on helping others, even going out of their way when necessary.

Others seem to just get by complaining they don't have the talent, get the breaks etc.

We don't have to be super smart or come from the right family or background.  We need to believe in ourselves, recognize the talents we have, understand how they can meet the needs of others and then work diligently to meet those needs.
