Some things require luck:
- Winning the lottery
- Not getting on a plane that’s going to crash
- Being born into a safe, nurturing, affluent society
Pretty much everything else doesn’t require luck:
- Getting up early in the mornings
- Leaping at an opportunity when it lands in front of you
- Persisting with an idea till it works
- Exercising good judgement
- Relentlessly learning to be better
When you do that, great things happen and you can take the credit.
Just make sure to chuckle when someone calls you lucky.
