Do you learn nothing from success?

No activity is a combination of luck and doing things correctly. You are referring to an outcome.

Success is an outcome.

I think "success" is a term that people throw around, but it's more of a condition than an endpoint, after all, you can be a success and have it disappear in a flash due to situations beyond your control.

Being a success teaches you how to be patient, and how to listen, and be efficient...which you need to continue to do in order to stay a success.
