If you were lucky to make your fortunes, of course, you’d feel more comfortable if you think that _you_ did and not a roll of a dice.
I did well for myself comparing to what I came from. I could probably do better. But at some point, I laid out how it all played out. The kicks that made me serious money were simply luck. By working and exposing yourself, you increase your luck surface. But that doesn’t change the fact: It’s luck.
Now, if we are in a hot field like Tech, many more people are going to make it. That’s not because Tech people are amazing, but it’s because Tech is booming. Luck here starts to make sense only at the extremes (ie: becoming a Zuckerburg) but at a local area, because luck is abundant, your hard work matters more. We are all lucky (Tech people) to be in this very particular time.
