- if either I or II is implicit.
- if neither I nor II is implicit.
- if both I and II are implicit.

The assumption I is valid. The speaker is assuming that by possessing such qualities, one may overcome bottlenecks in the way to success. We can't assume whether possessing such qualities is hard or not. Hence II is not implicit.
