People who have made lasting contributions started out with a high level of intelligence/talent and then put in the hard work and persistence required. All the hard work in the world will go nowhere without underlying intelligence/talent.

These days, it's difficult to find schools that truly reflect authentic merit and intelligence. There's simply too much parental interference and over-packaging. Maybe even the teaching faculty are not too far from _branding_[/quote]

Maybe so, but the post you’re replying to is about people who make lasting contributions to society, with no reference to schools. The school someone attends, or doesn’t attend, has nothing to do with what kind of contribution they make to society.

The post above is saying that the people who make lasting contributions have hard work/persistence [b]and[/b] intelligence/talent, not one or the other.

I would believe this if colleges stop holistic admissions for the sake of merits[/quote]
