Let's not forget grit. That is, a given individual's drive and willingness to persist, to move forward. That is a key source of energy, and a critical chacter trait.
Unfortunately, adversity is out of fashion, and coddling is in. Yes, of course. There's luck and other intangibles. But simply showing up isn't good enough.
The point being: no one has a more significant impact on the ROI of your education than you do.
