[quote=Anonymous]I have to check into DCUM every few weeks to remind myself that sane people are a rare joy to be relished. The lack of them here keeps me humble how lucky I am.

Gentle ladies, life is random, but their are thumbs on the scale. Good looking, under represented, HYP brat at STA, Chevy Chase Club, old money. Sure, they convey an advantage. But look around you. MOST of my friends of achievement are non of the above. I am most of the above. My kids are all of the above.

The vast majority of big 5 kids from HYP parents will amount to nothing in life. The vast, vast percentage of kids without talent and some of the above will end the same. A tiny sliver of short, bald PS kids will own the world.

Mom's, being good looking is great. With 5 billion ties, its a tie breaker. So are all the other 'hooks', as you call them.

Relax. If your kid has all the goods, and you are ugly and poor, your kid can change the world. Say .64%. If your kid has the goods, and you are HYP, pretty etc, it DOES matter. say .86%.
