I feel like there is a lot of hard work and preparation that goes into success, and there is a small element of luck. In my case, I was a waste through my 20's and didn't get my poo poo together until just a few years ago. I languished working poo poo retail jobs while doing school at night but not as seriously as I could have. Took me almost 13 years to finish a 4 year degree this way. I eventually had that moment where I utterly hated everything about myself and decided to do something about it. I started to apply myself and focus my effort. I then got myself that career shift by taking a Unix system administrator position working overnights. I kept working hard and was rapidly getting promoted. Currently I am now a director. The hard work and preparation comes into play in going out and finding these opportunites. Once one presents itself, then being able to make the most out of it. In my case, I believe that luck factored in how rapidly I was promoted. I joined this company at just the right time to ride a wave of explosive growth. This however, would not have happened if I did not put in a lot of hard work on my end.
