+1; How close is my paraphrasing to what you were thinking?

achievement(person) = potential(person) - adversity(person)

People implicitly assume the 'adversity' term is negligible. But in reality, the 'adversity' term can very large, and vary widely from person to person.

[yep the "equation" isn't dimensionally consistent. It's meant to be a "completion prompt" to your internal LLM to translate those tokens to a longer paragraph.]
