Oh, the Marxists are gonna hate that. You mean "privilege" doesn't really matter?
But really, this has been known forever. These achievement type coaches and success lecturers were saying 35 years ago (and I'm sure ages before that) that the most important thing is time perspective. Do you make decisions based on what benefits you in the next ten minutes -- or ten seconds -- or the next ten+ years, even decades?
It is a shame that it isn't taught, though. But then we have a whole education thread for that.
