I think it should be noted that talent/work (sometimes hard bloody work) is often essential to success--but without luck, the only output you get is failure at worst and mediocrity at best. And extreme outliers can get away with lots of talent/luck and not notice that they put in far less work (and they often give terrible advice about how to replicate their success).
