Why do some individuals -- say, an actor, or singer, or politician -- enjoy great success, even as others with as much (or more) talent do not? And why do some of the talented, hard-working individuals stay at it for years with little result -- until suddenly their star starts to shine? You've probably pondered these questions before.
