Mostly true. There is the other version of "luck favors the prepared". You can get lucky and not be able to capitalize on it.

Or luck is required, but not sufficient for success. You also have to put in the hard work and be smart.
Put another way, you can't win if you never get to play the game.
The world no doubt has a bunch of self starting geniuses who are trapped in poverty in some third world country and will never amount to anything. It's an enormous waste of an incredibly rare resource.
