       | Seems like opportunity is the big one. You get promoted, or given
       | other opportunities, because the person in power wants to give
       | them to you. These other attributes can play a role in that, but
       | I think we all know people who were not talented, lack grit, and
       | lack self control who were promoted anyways.

       | good example of how academic credit can get distorted.
