The queen does not have much personal money anyway. it belongs to the family.

I think it is understandable to feel inadequate. that is motivation to be better.

I don't see the sense in this. No amount of work would turn the average mind into the next von Neumann.

You can work as much as you like, you're still going to be nowhere near as smart as von Neumann. Why should that be motivating? I'm not convinced there's an upside to feeling inadequate by comparison.
