Please tolerate my shabby writing as I don't want to spend too much time on this... I think this can be explained by scientific evidence that birds always only soar high when they flap their wings along with the air flow. Nowadays, the importance of team work is more important than personal achievement. On the other hand, having the insights to do the right things in one's era is more important than mere hardwork. So only the egals and some birds glid high among the sky. Birds which only soars with his own wings are unable to aim too high. IMHO Hubris is the worst enemy of success, therefore boasting about one's own achievement reached by hardwork is rather shallow and unsatisfying, at least to me, ultimately damaging to mental health and the understanding of the law divine. Passionate people enjoy whatever they do; they intend not to compete with or beat the others. This is why innovations and insights often came from people who truely love what they do, instead of nasty snobs who appear to be successful in the short term. No offense, but IMHO passionate & humble people > hardworking yet snobbish people > those lazy ones who never even give a d**m to hardwork & try every means to take advantage of others to ensure their own success.
