I have been lucky quite a few times along my career path. However that "luck" was usually the result of identifying a good opportunity, and taking a risk. There are many people "stuck" in their current jobs because they don't see opportunities for what they are, or because they're too afraid to act on them. Fortune favors the bold.

That someone is stuck doesn't mean that they don't dare or don't see the opportunities. They might just be unlucky.

- MawNicker 11y agoMisfortune also favors the bold. Sustained boldness depends on the capacity to withstand misfortune. That is to have been fortunate.
