- zerostar07 8y agoI don't think he's pretending to do be doing something else. It's not advice for "how to be a CEO at 20".
- nickthemagicman 8y agoNo I mean it's cool that he's giving this advice but why do they have to put 'at 20' in the title. Also most of the advice is really common sensical or vague.
- zerostar07 8y agoit's what he said
- throwawaydream 8y agoNope. Luck is an ingredient in success, though not the only one. The idea that all successes could/should be boiled down to luck does an injustice to the ability of humans to impact outcomes. Also I would look at it as lessons learnt from someone who had the privilege of being part of a journey that few of us have.
- nickthemagicman 8y agoNot a lot of tech startups in Sudan, simply because the environment makes much more of a impact than Human Beings on `outcomes`. Human beings have much less ability to impact outcomes than they like to think they do. It's mainly luck.
- strictnein 8y agoYou're comparing success in the US to success in Sudan. Success is relative, and most importantly relative to others who have grown up in similar situations.
