Yeah, the truth is that you need all of these things to be “good enough”

The idea has to be good enough, the execution has to be good enough and then the connections will come,

The idea that the system is rigged against someone personally is just them protecting their ego - it’s much easier pill to swallow that your failures are because “the whole system is rigged against you” than to accept the ideas and execution were simply not good enough.

And of course luck plays an element too, I’m lucky I haven’t had cancer yet, for example, there is an indisputable element of luck to life too, though luck surface area can be increased by failure resilience and brute force trying.

I don’t think the system is rigged, it’s just a way for failures to protect their ego, but as soon as the get over that and stop making excuses, they can learn, grow and adapt, and then success will come to them.
