I don't know how you can possibly believe this. Do you really believe that Terry Tao got lucky, and just worked way harder than everyone else? Same can be applied to business executives.
- jachee 7y agoSure. His luck started by being born to a pediatrician and a math/physics teacher, rather than—say a couple of itenerant agricultural workers.

Michael Phelps is not just a product of luck, either. You could train your entire life and not be as good a swimmer as him. You'd have to redefine luck to include genetics.
