Dear Dilip,
Wonderful presentation! Thank you!
But, my 2 bobs worth is that whilst Ability doesn't have that much to do with Success, it is very closely linked to Success in 1 Fundamental Manner. And, that manner is that:
Each Successful Person Always Possesses the Ability to be Persistent, Perseverent, and Disciplined!
So, yes, in this way, Ability plays a critical role in each individual's success - but like all things associated with True Success, it is NEVER overtly visible!
Once again, thank you for the presentation!

The word "Nothing" is a bit of a sweeping statement which should not have been used. I myself saw four people from the same management institute in one company- one person got six promotions in one year and the others got only one. I later read similar examples in Talent Management Books. There are several variables in success- Talent, Hard Work, luck, right person at the right place at the right time. To say that ability has nothing to do or that "Attitude is everything" are naive statements made from selective experiences.
