True luck is rare. What many might call luck is really generosity.

I love the thought behind the quote doe.

I'm definitely not going to teach my son about luck.

But it exist and some people benefit from it in their professional lives.


But luck only pays off if youve out yourself in the position for it to.

No lucky pennies. Only generosity pennies.

What people call luck is *usually* opportunity that was created by specific effort.

Bryan Cranston had a great story on what he calls luck with regard to how he got the Breaking Bad role.

"He did seven seasons on Malcolm, and hated to see it go. But the show's cancellation turned out to be a very lucky moment.

Bryan Cranston: Had "Malcolm in the Middle" been picked up I would not have been available for the pilot of "Breaking Bad." And right now someone else would be sitting in this chair talking to you. Not me.

Luck – both good and bad – figures a lot in Cranston's life and in the memoir he's just written. It is published by Simon & Schuster, which is owned by CBS."

this is acceptable for a time, but not long term.

they think this is a long term solution. CEO's comment was that my lead has now been working 12 hour days, and he can't be the only one doing that.... Yeah, so replace the guy who left, or promote lead to manager and hire someone else to fill a lower level spot on my team. Don't just expect everyone to work 12 hour days and come in on weekends from here on out.

I feel like "hey, you're great at what you do so can you take on some extra responsibility/hours filling in as lead while also working your current role while we work to hire a junior you" is great but "hey, manager left so we're going to save $100k/year by not hiring anyone but you get more responsibility" is .

Jobs man... I'm still feeling pretty bummed out about leaving SSL. Getting to just be out in the world doing my own thing the way I saw fit was pretty rad. Hopefully the new company ends up being good.

I found $11 the other weekend walking from my car to a bar, so I bought two beers with it

I guess I "created an opportunity" by parking where I did, when I did.

Accurate.

People dismiss luck as a mental tool to help them and it's great. Take even the thought of luck out of your head so you work even harder to succeed. I like it.

Problem is when you start demanding or announcing that it doesn't exist at all and claiming others are wrong for pointing out it's existence

the quote is not about random short term gain or loss, but more about long term patterns.

I will work hard at finding $11 in the parking lot and making it a long term pattern.

We're all very "lucky" just based on the pure fact that we were born white males in the United States. It's definitely a thing.

But, it's true that long term trends are generally more created by the individual.

I'd do pretty well being born in Somalia. I'd exercise my male privilege.

Running around with your balls out all day NFG, no job.... All you gotta do is catch the occasional bag of rice that falls out of the UN helicopter.

Can you hoon a goat?

I consider myself pretty lucky.

I also work hard, so it's nice when something fortunate happens by chance.

Dustin would hoon the shit out of a goat.

I don't believe "luck" exists, I do believe in God and his plan for us.
