It's not just what you know or even who you know, but also the luck and timing Shiftwork mentioned.
While it's true that we can make our own luck like Stephen Coonts once said, there is always a luck factor involved just as was made clear at the end of Ernest K. Gann's "Fate is the Hunter".

Thread bump- Website by OP appears to be taken down now. Links n/g, typing in www.thetruthabouttheprofession.weebly.com n/g. Too bad, was a good website for career pilot and non pilot alike.

I’d suggest that the human condition is as follows:
The one who views himself as successful will attribute his success largely to merit.
The one who does not view his station in life as satisfactory will attribute much to circumstance.
Strong individuals will be able to check their ego with the opposite point of view in either situation.
