One thing that made me realize how luck is important, is reading a part of the book "Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us".
If we leave out environmental luck (parents, neighborhood...), the very simple fact that you cannot choose which brain you want (einstein brain or some famous artist brain?) or simply a brain/body that is more capable of enduring stress /hard-work, should make people understand that luck play a far bigger role than everything else.
You can work with what you have and express the best version of yourself, but that doesn't mean you will be succesfull in the envoirnment you are surrounded with. Some people waste away their life just because they could not find a suitable environment (maybe it doesn't exist) where their best self can overcome the average. And finding the best enviornment where you can thrive and have success is, I guess, another lottery.
