What matters?
A lot of time it's not the intellect or hard work that makes a difference, but just contacts and timing. Of course, all four are necessary for big successes, but too often the connection and timing make or break accomplishments.
The other way to look at it is you can control intellect and hard work, while contacts and timing you have less control over. When it comes to adding value to others or this world, there is a place for people who make the right kind of connections and influence decisions. All too often, people use that as a short cut though. I guess the fact that we know about this fact means it's a fair game. It's just our choice whether to leverage it or not.
