To whose credit is it anyway?

On the question of who deserves the credit for an individual's achievements, the answers vary vastly from person to person. To some, it is the individual himself or herself; to some, it is the group that the individual belongs to and operates in, and to some, it is purely a culmination of an uncontrollable factor such as providence or race or gender etc.

David Brooks, the celebrated columnist of New York Times, has written an amazing article on this question. I immensely enjoyed reading it and I hope you do too! The link to this article is given below.
