Lovvee the article, it reminds me of the book, the outliers by Malcom Gladwell. Talent and hard work are necessary for success but they are not the only determinants, way more things are at play.
Exactly! MG's 'Outliers' basically expanded on the idea here. There's a lot of luck that goes into success. But also some degree of intentionality when it comes to creating one's fortune by carefully crafting one's network.
Lovely read! And I can comment that this length is just perfect. Typically I'd procrastinate reading till this late because I anticipate a very lengthy piece, but something about this one is just right! 💯💯

Thank you for speaking the truth!
Hard work does not only involve being good at what to do, it involves also being good at building the right network.
An interesting and thought provoking read. Thank you

This was a great read. It feels like a brilliant extension of Meg Jay's 'Why your twenties matter'
What an inspiration
