This might imply that with sufficient effort, everybody could be a Bill Gates, at the same time. In fact why can’t we blame Mr. Cain, rich as he is, for not being Bill Gates?

One has to be careful not to equate financial status with personal worth or even personal usefulness. St. Paul himself penned the words, under the inspiration of God, that he knew how to abound and how to be in want — he could nonetheless do “all things” through the power of Christ.

No, it doesn't imply that.

Not everyone can be in the 99th percentile of the IQ bell curve.
But you DO have to take the d@mn IQ test to get on the bell curve at all.

Ditto work. Not everyone can be Bill Gates, but everyone can earn enough to feed themselves (see tagline). Even Paul had to make & sell a tent once in a while.
