(1) be naturally gifted, (2) avoid falling down wells of distraction, (3) be lucky. Don’t sleep on (3), it’s easy to call it capitalizing on opportunity in hindsight when it was honestly just luck.

I'd also add (4) be incredibly curious about lots of things; (5) surround yourself with other smart, curious, and committed people who have a culture of critiquing ideas; and (6) devote a lot of time to deep thinking.
(8) be good in counting things, (h) be consistent in your thinking, (10) have a good memory, (11) be good in counting things, (12) refrain from making silly comments
luck in terms of natural intelligence and focus. But generally people can approve their ability to avoid falling down the "wells of distraction". This year I set time filters for apps on my phone and its made a stark difference. Even though I can turn off "work mode" to get around it, that little reminder has saved me hundreds of hours as I usually just put down the phone when I see it.
