That's not what he's saying. His message is - it's not impossible that you'll be successful, but it's just not very likely, so don't hung up on that too much. Jordan Peterson has made a similar point, where he said that only a small minority of people entering a workforce will have careers (which imply substancial degree of self-direction and fullfillment), and the rest will just have jobs. So don't invest too much into trying to have a career, as you're likely regret it 10 or 20 years down the road.
