And I think THAT is a copout used by people who have themself convinced that they earned all of their good things.[quote name="sea manup"]I think "luck" is a terrible concept that people use to feel better about their short comings. If you work hard and smart enough you can create your own luck
"Good things happen if you pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is a cop out for people who don't realize that not everyone even has boots.
How hard did Kobe work to acquire Shaq? How smart was Kobe to fire Del Harris and bring in Phil Jackson? Why wasn't John Stockton just as smart? Did he not study hard enough to attain the intelligence it takes to acquire Phil?
"Create your own luck" is a cop out that comes from our culture's elitist desire to believe that all of their good things are self-earned.[/quote]Of course I am luckyer than a lot of people and a lot of people are way better off than me. But I'm going to be greater than a lot of those people born with more than I did and it won't be because of luck. Sure luck exists but to constantly acknowledge it takes away from time you could be using to get ahead. Life is all about confidence
