omg that one guy who is just like smart and knows how to work everyone over and in the end things just work out for him but never for you.

It's not even that for me. It's the dumb guy who doesn't really know anything, but things work out anyway. You look a them and think "If I tried any of that, it would go wrong every step of the way."

"dumb" people often have success because they don't overthink things and just take action with confidence which is classic risk/reward.

Persistence - as long as you keep trying without giving up after failure, eventually something works. Failure is a step forward. The “dumb” may just mean a willingness to fail frequently, and that certainly will be the way to find success.

Try it with a goal to fail fast, you’ll learn from every step. And it will end up working out - if you’re persistent enough to not give up.
