It’s entirely predicated on luck, but rephrase luck as “opportunity” and see you then need to also have the skills and perseverence to capitalise on that opportunity. Of course, the problem is there is having the luck to be born into a situation where you could develop those skills and attitude, either through genetics or an encouraging family environment.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoYes, a good way I've seen of phrasing it is that your opportunity depends on 'luck' and in those lucky situations it also (sometimes) requires the skill to capitalize on it. But your skill to capitalize is highly dependent on your 'lot' which is what you were born into (really just another form of luck.)
