Harrison Ford, known for his successful roles in Star Wars and other films, has refuted the idea that he was an overnight success. He explained that he struggled for 15 years before his breakthrough role in the film, where he read lines for actors auditioning for the film. The author suggests that an "overnight success" story is usually about someone who continues to work long after any reasonable person would have stopped. The writer argues that the success myth is not true, but it's a myth that the right person is always discovered and the process of finding success is usually a processional.
