Yup, all success. It's a combination of luck and hard work. Rarely are there success stories that involve either no luck at all or no hard work at all. But the work almost always follows the luck, i.e. if you are born an inner city black child in say the poorest parts of Baltimore, no amount of hard work may make a difference. And it may in fact be that being born into that scenario renders you unable to see that hard work enables success because your culture doesn't teach you.
I'm not saying that successful people were only successful because of luck. But they were successful because they were born in correct circumstances and cultures that allowed them to become successful.
I don't disagree that lots of people have every opportunity to be successful and choose not to. But I'm talking about the ones who are actually successful and how luck and circumstances are very important.
