It's most certainly not necessary to hit rock bottom, but it does seem to drive a lot of people.

However, you have to have the right mindset. More often than not, more people can't come back from rock bottom.

If you notice, there are a lot more people at rock bottom in this world than at the top. Obviously it takes a special person to respond positively to rock bottom and change their entire life around.

I don't think there is a positive correlation between hitting rock bottom and being successful, but there is a positive correlation between people with the right mindset hitting rock bottom and then turning things around.

So no, it isn't necessary, but it is a fuel for SOME people.
