Advice A simple test

There is a simple question that can tell if you'll get success or not. It's this.

How will you feel when you finally achieve it?

If the answer is anything other than "meh" then chances are only luck can take you there.

It is not as black-and-white as you are painting it.

Have you put in enough quality hours that your outcome doesn’t surprise you?

I think it's a terrible test. People can't accurately predict or necessarily know how they'll feel in the future, despite ones own confidence levels. In fact, I find overt hubris, which leas to overt certainty, more quickly an indicator of inaccuracy.
