Yes it does.<p>You don&#x27;t like the idea that luck could be the actual all embedding factor of success.<p>&quot;If you believe that people, to some extent &quot;make their own luck&quot; via their choices and actions, then you could just as easily speculate that if &quot;lucky event A&quot; didn&#x27;t happen, then something else &quot;lucky&quot; would have happened anyway.&quot;<p>No you can&#x27;t speculate that at all. But I would like to see you try.<p>You are just trying to insist that there is this path to success that can be taken without luck being involved which just isn&#x27;t the case.<p>The question that was asked is whether grit is the one factor to become successful.<p>It&#x27;s not, it can&#x27;t be because if it was everyone who had grit would be successful they are not and so something else is needed. That thing is luck. Whether lucky that you were born with better of parents, higher IQ, extreme talent, went to the right school, meet the right people at the right time, have the right idea at the right time and so on.<p>Grit is only there to make you stay in the game long enough that you might end up being successful but it can never be the all encompassing factor that explains it all. Only luck can.
