yes I've seen many "lucky" people that seems to be in right place right time. But they must also have the capacity and track record to be chosen and able to be at that place at that time. Even the gift of gap which I'm biased against, is also a "skill"
I don't know anyone who will choose a stranger just randomly, except what is legally called "Acts of God" ie natural disaster or illness etc. I agree to be careful about survivialship bias... but that depends what you term as success. Time is the friend of the wonderful business but the enemy of the mediocre, and I tend to look at longer term aspects of success for execution, management vision etc which will smoothen out any "luck effect"

Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give. –William A. Ward
