The parent's comment wan't implying that luck was everything, but to point out that luck is also an important factor. > There are three ingredients in great work: natural ability, practice, and effort.

  I think it falls into a different category. Lucky in this regard is being in the right situations at the right time.

  I would suggest the opposite: natural ability falls in the luck category.
