Break a comparison
You are not the next King Bach.
That is not pessimism. It is precision. You can study this path, but you cannot inherit its conditions, replay its sequence, or schedule its luck.

Two forces, no new scores
Perseverance and luck both matter.
Documented perseveranceHe started Vine in 2013 at age 24 and became its most-followed creator within two years.This records repeated behaviour or recovery described by sources; it is not a grit or merit score.
Luck and unobserved varianceNo discrete luck event is documented in the reviewed biographical summaries.A successful-only archive cannot recover all encounters, avoided setbacks, or alternative outcomes.
Sequence matters
