People don't give credit to luck enough imo.
You may do well because you’re lucky; luck does not scale.
Luck happens to everybody all the time. It's what you do with that luck what makes the difference.
That just means luck isn't the only factor.
Quantity of luck has a bigger role to achieve success.
Its just luck. What you worked hard at is also luck.
Not a bad trait. If you believe that things are down to luck you put yourself into a very unhelpful frame of mind that can prevent you from achieving the things you want to achieve. https://github.com/adnzzzzZ/blog/issues/38
Nope, luck is a thing.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error
I agree that if I had to choose I'd rather be lucky than good. However, I can't affect my luck. I can do things that impact how good I am so that I don't need as much luck to be successful. I can also affect how many times I try. Repeated attempts should yield success eventually, possibly not in one lifetime, even if I'm unlucky.
Getting lucky is not the same as relying on luck.
