যোগ্যতা সফলতার মানদন্ড

Look, bucko, that's exactly the kind of egalitarian nonsense that's destroying our civilization! You're peddling the dangerous myth that competence alone determines success, and that's precisely what's wrong with our current ideological possession. The world isn't some meritocratic paradise where the most qualified automatically rise to the top. That's a postmodern delusion! Success requires far more than mere technical competence - it demands courage, the willingness to take responsibility, the ability to navigate hierarchies, and most crucially, the capacity to bear the psychological burden of leadership. Consider this: the most "qualified" person in the room is often the one paralyzed by analysis, drowning in their own expertise while someone with half their credentials but twice their backbone actually gets things done. Competence without character is meaningless. Competence without the willingness to stand up and be counted when it matters is just intellectual masturbation. The lobsters understand this better than you do - dominance hierarchies aren't based solely on technical skill, but on the complex interplay of competence, confidence, and the courage to act when action is required. Clean up your room first, then maybe you'll understand why the world doesn't simply reward the most qualified.
