I see this belief in probably about 80% of people I encounter, and it has little correlation with how smart one is.
I like to hang out with people who take responsibility for their failures rather than complaining about how circumstance, "The Man", or other people have it in for them. Such people are far more interesting. Unsurprisingly, they're also far more successful.
