Do you think there is a code for success? Or does luck play a factor...? Why do some people...

I think there's a few things at work... Luck definitely plays a role... But so too does timing, being at the head of a change either by planning or luck... Plus personality...

No matter how smart, how experienced, if you are not in the right place at the right time, aka luck, you won't succeed. Pasteur said that, I paraphrase, discovery awaits a prepared mind. So be prepared and put yourself in the position.

Even Bill Gates admits that his success was part luck and skill. So yes, luck plays a role.

I found most things that were successful were the result of timing and intuition.I think we make our own luck.

I think luck plays more of a part than just about anything else.
I mean. Supposing nobody was interested in what Gates and Jobs and Berners-Lee were up to ?

There's no one magic key it's a combination of blessings so to speak.

I think it's definitely a mix of skill and luck. You have to have the skill to be noticed..and you also have to be smart enough to recognize a lucky break when you see one.

Yep. Hack the treasury department. Be rich and let the world burn while you're succeeding.

Yes, sometimes you need luck and the kindness of others.
Check out my story, "Semper Fi" about the early days of starting a business.

Luck is a factor in everything in life, from the family you're born into to your marriage, even your car.... so I say YES, it's pure luck along with determination.
