I would agree that drive and hard work, combined with at minimum average intelligence so you're not working on dumb things, is key to big public achievement. For a great many people, success isn't grand public spectacle, but simply financial peace of mind and the like. As noted in my above post, those who consider satisfaction to be success may consider a burning desire for more to be failure, because that fierce desire for more means you're unsatisfied.
