What most people in Academics forget is how much luck would play a part in their careers.
Now I am working with "lesser" minds who just want to work really hard to get really bad papers out. They may get published in good journals or conferences but would they ever get citations even comparable to this one.
check the top paper:

Over 5000 citations!!!, now suppose you publish a 100 papers in your life...even then your H-Index remains well over 50. Damn, that's the kind of good luck I need to stumble upon. So focus on the bright and brilliant gape holes that need to be filled while in the meantime, do all that is necessary to survive.
