Luck plays some role in life. I think everyone should acknowledge that. Your success may not be completely arbitrary but I think there is some part of luck. I liked Michael Lewis’s speech about the life’s mysterious outcomes. I know this video for long time, but just wanted to write about it.
But you can’t solely depend on luck. You have to put effort to succeed – atleast try to work hard. I think luck is secret ingredient that ensures your best actions are rewarded. We can give many examples that showcase the role of luck in one’s life. Sometimes, in life, despite of your best efforts, you may not be rewarded, just becase you are unlucky. So, prepare yourself to give your best and let luck help you! Rember Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
Also, Jeff Bezos says the choices we make define our life not our gifts/abilities.
