You forgot the three most important things, which are 10,000 times more important than the ones you listed.

Hard work, hard work and hard work.

Necessary but not sufficient.

what about jackie chan's life story screams luck and people handing him things coz he was handsome to you? literally all he did was hard work

[MagnumOpus → kkarakk]

The part that screams luck is that for every hard working Jackie Chan there are ten -- or more likely a hundred -- people just as talented and working just as hard, who didn't become multimillionaire A-list celebrities.

Which is why the parent poster said hard work is necessary but not sufficient.
