I work with some pretty successful people who started their companies. I can tell you, the sentence is pure BS. Successful people may not know why exactly they got successful. Or they may not understand how much what they do contributed to the outcome. But they certainly tend to be sharp people putting a lot of hard, HONEST work and doing a lot of things right. Even if you could say it was luck, think in terms of being the kind of person that creates a lot of chances for luck and prepares so that when they get lucky they do most out of it. It is a bit like a person who never bought a lottery ticket complaining the other one won. After playing it every day. Don't be salty. Try to understand what successful people do that makes them successful. Just because they can't explain it well doesn't mean there isn't wisdom to be had.
