I think people who like attention and try to impress people, live the most miserable lives. Those with the most true success typically avoid the limelight and attention because they're too busy succeeding and changing the world.
So the jocks or whoever you're referencing peak in highschool. After graduating, they don't get too far as they don't rule the kingdom of anymore once they reach the adult world. Of course this is a stereotype not everyone fits but I'd say there's a 50% chance it holds true. I was picked in the last half for dodgeball mostly because I can't throw the ball hard or accurately. I never got bullied and our school was small enough everyone knew everyone. One thing I did notice is about 5 of the top 10 smartest people GPA wise aren't doing anything with their life yet at 28 years old. One is working at target as a stocker, another works as a hotel desk clerk, another is a tutor and part time piano teacher. These were people with 3.99 or 4.0 GPA's and they went to a 4 year college. I think some people get into such a routine in K-12 that they don't know what to do without structure after they graduate. And the cliques are gone too so they don't have friends building up their confidence.
