What does "doing everything right" even mean? Why does it sound like you were taking about religion - the gods will hear your prayers, so do pray but it's not guaranteed to work because the gods might have other plans.

"Do everything right" as in "do what reasonable experts and experienced practitioners in X field say is the key to success diligently" > gods will hear your prayers, so do pray but it’s not guaranteed to work because the gods might have other plans. I mean.... yes. That is life. I'm not religious, so I would call it random chance, not "god". But the end result is the same. If you want some kind of guarentee that you will be successful and achieve all your goals and dreams and live happily ever after no matter what... then you are looking for a fairy tale, not a realistic description of the world and how to achieve your goals. Luck, hard work, and smart descisions will all play a role.

Doing everything right refers to following specific social milestones.
