Was my eventual success primarily a result of talent, luck, hard
work, or an accidental just-right
balance of each? All I know for sure
is that I pursued a conscious strategy of managing my opportunities
in a way that would make it easier for luck to find me. Did my strategy
make a difference, or is luck just luck, and everything else is just
rationalization? Honestly, I don’t know. That’s why I suggest you
compare my story with the stories of other people who found success
and see if you notice any patterns.
