I really fail to see the point of such articles. Sure luck plays a part, everyone is aware of this. As does who you know. And where you born. And how good looking you are. And a myriad of other factors outside your control. But you can only effect the things you control. Perhaps a bit trite, but none the less, it's true. And if you can't control it, then well... you can't control it. It would be better, IMO, to focus on improving in the areas you do control rather than dwelling on the things you can't. Work hard, exercise, try to meet people, try to be aware of opportunities, etc., etc.
