Can't count on luck and shit

One thing that astounds me is that a lot of people firmly believe that successful people are 'great' and that they are lucky. They think everyone can't become rich and famous. And that those great people are exceptions. Bleh.

Actually those 'great' people are exceptions. They believe in diligence and work to achieve their goal. They don't give up and say they aren't lucky. They DO. The importance of assiduity is enormously under-emphasized.

Everyone talks about Sania Mirza as if she is some sensation. They talk about her matches, her T-shirts, her religion, and all the blah. The emphasis is shifted towards her other traits. Everybody naturally thinks she is successful because she is good and that she has the 'skill'. Damn the media. Nobody talks about her many hours of daily training and how much effort she has to put in. At the most, there's a phrase for dramatic purposes such as 'against all odds' or so.

One of my friends has a telecommunications business. When I ask him why they don't price aggressively, advertise and attack the market, he says,"It's not so easy, man. You need to have the right place, the right moment and it's all luck".

Luck is just chance. It can happen to anyone. Expecting luck is an unholy waste of time. If you get lucky, then be happen and move on. You can't get sucked into it and waste your time. Luck does play a role. But Apple wasn't lucky with the iPod(IMO). I believe luck is just an 'add-on' factor, not a major one.

So, people, it's time to our butts moving for whatever we want, because as long as it's even obscurely possible, it's possible.
