Of Good Fortune and Serendipity

Some will have us believe that it must take 1000 steps to get to the top. That somehow if you learned hard and leaped to the very top with one giant stride, that one should feel uneasy about that type of success.

We should still prefer victory at the first attempt too. And read all about failure as if it was real and learn the lessons without actually experiencing the problems. These chubby rich folks lie about their struggles just to limit the envy people feel.

The point is it's not all blood, sweat and tears. Many worked harder and still lost. Many work hard and only came up with limited success. No one should give the impression that only the few people that worked impossibly hard won success. A good number found success on less than average talent and less than average work.

Not all success stories must take 1000 hard steps. A good student has the power of serendipity at their disposal. Work with it.
