I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth: a Dad who was a physics professor at Berkeley and a stay at home Mom - lucky! In order of most important first, what makes people successful: empathy, being grateful and appreciative, intelligence, luck, hard work. I think that young people get a lot of bad advice, like follow your bliss (I love Joseph Campbell, but he got that one wrong). People should figure out what they are good at, get very good at whatever this is, be kind and helpful to other people, and most importantly be grateful for what you have.
