This is something I believe, 100%.
It's great to be talented, to have ambition, to make smart moves in your career.
But you ALSO need luck. I have seen many talented, ambitious people fail. Not because they didn't make smart moves. They just had bad luck.

let me rephrase - one of the fastest ways to become a monster is to blind yourself to the role that luck played in your success and your failures.
