There's a huge component of luck and everything. For every Bill and Elon, there's 10,000 guys as talented as them that didn't have their luck, and you don't hear about them. Elon and Bill are just guys who have won a dozen coinflips in a row - if millions of people are trying, it WILL happen to someone eventually.
- muzani 6y ago"Never failed" is untrue too. Bill Gates almost gave up and went back to class. You don't hear about the failed coin flips, or the ones that broke even. Someone like Steve Jobs failed lots of times, but those are rarely portrayed as failures. The documentary portrays him as a perfectionist who gets things over budget and succeeds because of this ambition, but it doesn't link this to his minimalist attitude later in Apple.
