That's survivorship bias. You believe that because you came from a not-so-well-off family and did things that lead to your success, while ignoring the fact that there are many others who have done or tried the same thing and failed. It's like you don't even think of the "losers" as human.

I can sympathize with the losers too y'know ? It's just false equivalence to assume that the losers walk the same path as the victors ... 

Everyone starts with a different path too, some easier and some more difficult but I don't believe social mobility was meant to be high in this world so that is why we see those born in lower status stay with a lower status but rest assured there does exist a path to get into high status ...
