Hard work is one attribute to get ahead but it takes more than just that. You need good health, common sense, mental toughness, and yes, some luck.

Please define "get ahead."
If you limit it to paying your bills, then most of us can do it on autopilot, so long as we walk the straight and narrow and make sound choices.
But if you meaning making a lot of dough, it's different.
To make good money takes more than what you said: it takes a viable plan.
Take white collar professionals: they had a plan to embark on a particular career, a career that would likely pay well, and after years of study, sacrifice and applied effort they reach their goal.
But the serious money comes to those who plan AND TAKE RISKS, who think outside the box, and who are firm of purpose.
Oh, we make our own luck.
