Most people on HN are very quick to dismiss the role luck plays in their life.
I realize many are very accomplished so they don't want to devalue/dismiss their own efforts.
- deadmetheny 8y agoIn that same vein though, many people are willing to insist that hard work plays zero role and everything is completely luck. Success is the intersection of luck, and being prepared to embrace the opportunities that arise as a result of that luck. If you aren't prepared to take advantage of a good opportunity, nothing happens. There's not a lot of cases where people find success without expending any effort at all.
