This is true, to some extent.
We are able to make small changes to human nature, including our own nature. Just how far do you think that can be taken, though? Can a lazy person recognize that they are lazy and go on to become a millionaire?
They can. A lazy person recognizing they are lazy and becoming a driven go-getter type would be a far less plausible outcome.
Lazy + intelligent + flexible ethics is a reasonable combination for becoming a millionaire (or a prison inmate).
