I hardly think that "dumb luck" has been the most outcome-determinative factor in his life so far. Or that very little has been "good enough" for him. It's a good theory for the masses, though.
Absolutely incredible desire for, and pursuit of, greatness by that fellow.

Impressive resume, and certainly denotes a life of achievement. But I contend that dumb luck still had a lot to do with it. He was born smart, white, male, and American, and had the means to get a good education. That's a big leg up on a lot of folks.
But your point is valid: all that would still have gotten him nothing had he not put in the effort.
