Forgot to mention "lucky" part.
- Kalanos 2y agoLuck is a matter of time and networking. If you do the right stuff, eventually you will get lucky.
- system2 2y agoI know people hustled and tried for decades didn't get lucky. Many rich people mention luck in their source of success as well.
- crackalamoo 2y agoIn what way is luck important? One part of me says someone that identifies an urgent market need and executes on it doesn't need too much luck. On the other hand, maybe luck is important in terms of your network: meeting the right person at the right time. (This leads to "luck surface area" arguments.)
- system2 2y agoWarren Buffett, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Charlie Munger, Ray Dalio, Mark Cubam, Ophray, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Jack Ma, Howard Schultz, Sheryl Sandberg. And many more mentioned Luck played a big role in their success. Please use google.com search for the name of the person + "interview" + "luck" and you will find the first results to be the relevant ones.
- crackalamoo 2y agoYes, I have seen many of the interviews from these extreme outliers. But I am curious to hear regular people's experiences with luck, and whether they have succeeded without much of it, even if they didn't become billionaires.
