Success Formula
What works to get you to the top

From Dilbert.Blog
Here was the blog piece from Scott Adams:
http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2006/04/success_formula.html

The key point that Scott points out are:

• There are multiple factors involved which combine together to make it happen (Scott points out: Brains, Luck, Looks, Reputation of School)
• If one of the factor is lacking, the other factors have to shine brighter
• Somewhat implicit (though the most important of all in my opinion): You as an individual need to realize whats working and whats not

My Opinion
Another key point that might be implicit (or hidden in "being smart") is: In every situation, it may be different sets of attributes that work! So "being dynamic" and "watchful" is the key!

Overall, though, I would agree with his thinking!
