You say that success comes from timing and opportunities.

Your example is that a guy is very intelligent, yet no one will listen to him because he has no degree.

A Degree wouldnt be difficult for him to get and then that means his success wouldnt be gained from timing or special opportunites as this author puts it, it would be gained through hard work.

Its obvious that success doesnt come from just hard work otherwise there'd be many more rich people. You dont need an author to tell you that.

ParkerMCN - the author talks about how the guy missed his scholarship because his mother forgot to sign the consent forms. Just that one action caused the guy's life to dramatically change. Anyways, the author goes through a forensic examination of how success occurs (or doesn't). Working smart doesn't cut it either, according to the author, not me. Anyways, the book can tell you a lot more than just my brief segmented vlog. Truly a book that changes the way one thinks about success.
