By the same token, there are also people who mistake their good fortune with their own effort.10 years ago, I was three inches from dying. By sheer luck, my car veered just enough to miss hitting a telephone poll head on. Any success I have in the future is entirely dependent on that piece of luck, because if I hadn't been lucky that day, I would not have the opportunity to be lucky in the future.

And that's what I was trying to stress. A lot of people just go around living their life saying "I'm just not lucky enough"A lot of life is not luck. It's hard work.

A lot of life is not luck. It’s hard work.

I bow to you, sir. ;) I only understand some very, very, very basic bits about quantum physics.... (I admit, I'm geeky and get a kick out of string theory.)Indeed, I do believe in luck. And while there's "Luck = Preparation + Opportunity," there's more to it than that I think. Many people miss plenty of opportunities, others take way too many, this isn't fully lucky or unlucky. Sometimes you end up in the right place at the right time and meet the right people. We don't always need to explain why... Call it luck and leave it at that.But, regardless of passion or not, I think Gary's passionate talks are a great kick in the ass for anybody working on a business. :) The DNA thing is something I need to revisit.... I took it too literally the first time I was exposed to the concept. (Oops!) Wow, Edward, luck & quantum physics?

I love this post and what you are doing with untemplatar! It has officially replaced the BC aggregate blog in my heart :)I just wrote a (significantly) less refined post about the exact same thing yesterday! Great minds think alike and maybe we have some weird same-phonetically-sounding-name connection. Hey Jun! I love this post and what you are doing with untemplatar!
