"The wealthier and more connected your family is, the luckier you get." - me.
No amount of hard work beats starting off with all the opportunities and plenty of OPP to work with.
- pedalpete 7y agoI'd like to have you pose that question to Max Levchin, Sergey Brin, Sataya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, and I'm sure others in the community can add to that list. Those are only the ones who have been lucky in rising to the top of tech. Look at all the athletes who have started with nothing, actors, artists, scientists. I won't disagree that those who are well connected are starting off in a luckier position, but there are MANY examples of the lucky and lazy falling from grace. Can I suggest you don't look at the world as a zero-sum game. What is "OPP" in your parlance, I know a few acronyms of that, but nothing that fits.
