Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes a person may mistakenly believe they were chosen or overlooked for a particular opportunity or position because of their abilities or qualities. However, in reality, they were not chosen because they simply went unnoticed or were unknown to the decision-makers. It emphasizes the idea that familiarity and recognition play a crucial role in being selected for certain achievements, rather than solely relying on one's skills or abilities.
