Success is not a coincidence – or is it?

Success has to be earned, just like the necessary bit of luck. It is not without any reason that people talk about the luck of the brave. But is it really the most capable who win the race? Or is it a question of talent? Doubts are justified. After all, the world is full of talented people who never make it. Do we need opportunities as well as skills? Especially as careers are often the result of someone being in the right place at the right time.

Do successful people tend to underestimate the factor of chance and overestimate their own abilities? And does Friedrich Dürrenmatt's bon mot apply: "The more planned a human being is, the more effectively he is hit by chance"?
