Wow. Shocking. Success takes some sacrifice and struggle, who would have thought?
You can choose to go through the sacrifice, the struggle? Persevere and come out on top. Or you can use the sacrifice and the struggle as an excuse as to why you were never "lucky" enough.
The choice is all yours.

I already wrote a big ass TL;DR thread, but it's just a fact that luck has a lot to do with it and there's no guarantee that you won't work hard, struggle, do what you're supposed to and end up in a gutter. Despite that, it never pays to place blame on your luck when you could be working. It does, however, pay to give credit to luck where it's due. There's a saying that geniuses see the same amount of patterns that super geniuses see and the difference is that a super genius will dismiss half of them as coincidence. Twice as many experience points with each effort.
