Absolutely. I got my new Job because I was bored😂

Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time .

The rich Invest in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment...

I thought about investing in the real estate market, I heard that people make millions , but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $460,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it. Money is hard to come by

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my port-folio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

Fantastic! Can you share more details?

The main point is that we are oblivious to how much luck affects our success

Well said!

literally could not have put that in any better words

I think skillcapped said something about Luck in League. They said those who try to get lucky are more likely to get lucky than others. (In prettier words). Meaning do count in luck, when the odds of getting lucky seem reasonable. That doesn't mean you should play the lottery, because it's very unlikely to get lucky there(hence I don't play it). Also it helps picking places tp get lucky where you don't lose anything If it fails but a Bit of time you had No better use for. A great example of this is almost every RU-vidr. They started creating stuff, were unsuccessful for a long time (sometimes even over 10 years) and then they got some kind of Point where they got lucky and got popular. I know I could achieve anything I wanted to, the hardest thing is figuring out what that is.

And hard work gives a sense of entitlement

🤣

LMBO!!

Maybe they are lucky to not work for this company, and found a better job after.

ALL THINGS HAPPEN TOGETHER FOR GOOD

Wisdom and prudence and many other things are probably more important than luck. Fools often squander their good luck even if they are hard working

@@philippenight2421wisdom comes as a factor of inspiration. You cannot derive wisdom from a vacuum, it must be learned in an environment. How skewed that environment is towards the outcome of wisdom, is your factor of luck. True wisdom is recognizing the facets of life that are beyond your control but are part of your influence.

but then get youtube recommendation about ' your perception about luck is wrong'

In his experiment, if you were given a skill score of 99, your chances of being in the top 11 were 0%. I repeat, the top applicants *all* had skill scores of 100. So yes, luck plays a role when everyone, including you, is perfect everywhere else. But that isn't really actually saying anything profound.

@@falcon7960where are the details to his experiment available? That would be interesting to see.

Waw, that's amazing, in Islam, our prophet said a similar thing for us to follow. Your mom may rest in peace 🙏

Luck=preparation (personal growth)+ attitude (belief/mindset) + opportunity (a good thing coming your way) + action (doing something about it) -Dan Hardy

Yup. Only need to succeed once and all the failures simply won't count anymore.

Interesting saying I had not heard of. "Luck" means we don't understand the causal connections. Surely we are intended not to accept what is without dignity or value.

@@larrysherk it’s just from the book compound effect by Darren Hardy. They ask Richard Branson what he says luck is. He says everyone born healthy in a a free world is lucky. Luck is all around us, but some see it and act on it and others don’t. Just considering yourself lucky, is even part of it. Anyways then the compound effect takes it a bit further. I read a lot of self improvement type books for work.

doesn't that already happen? They use certain keywords in their search program that reviews applications and automatically throws out any missing certain ones without the HR person ever seeing it. If your resume didn't have the right words, you are s*** outta luck lol.

@@SurgStriker I can't speak on what you're saying, but I think this person is referring to something else and perhaps making a bit of a joke. By throwing away 50% of job applications without reading them, you get rid of unlucky people because they were unlucky enough to be one of the random applicants that they tossed aside, if that makes any sense. Basically, if you only want to hire lucky people, then doing this method will help to ensure that you do, as lucky people won't be the ones that have their applications thrown out. This process doesn't involve reading a single word of the actual applications, so it's different from what you're talking about. I hope that makes sense.

@@shreknskrubgaming7248 i understood his comment, and i was just pointing out "we joke about it...but it actually happens IRL already". There is a large amount of luck involved in ever getting your resume read by a person because most major companies HR uses bots to screen applications and throws the majority away before a human knows they exist (granted, it's not because they are 'getting rid of unlucky applicants', it's just saving themselves work, but the end result is the same). It's just one of those things-sometimes comedians come up with jokes that are funny-until you realize that's how things actually are. Then it's just depressing

@@SurgStriker If you make your resume slightly different each time so it matches general keywords that the job title entails. Why hire a plumber for a computer technician basically

You dont need a motivation, you just need a click. But i get what you are saying 👍

This video, and the experiment he did, is missing a HUGELY important characteristic of luck that scientists would normally account for. Consider I'm interviewing for jobs. For one interview, I might hit all the lights red, making me a few minutes late, or not. That's luck. It might turn out that some system the employer users is the same brand I already have experience with, or not. By luck. I might catch the interviewer in a good mood, or not. When they ask a logic/brainteaser question it might be one I've heard before, or not. If I make a joke with someone in the elevator, that might turn out to be the interviewer, or not. They might share my sense of humor, or not. There are a dozen or more different "luck" factors for a single interview. Almost certainly, I'll hit some and miss some. Of course, I might interview for several different jobs. On the first I get get 6/12 lucky, maybe 7/12 on the second job, and 5/12 on the third. Over the course of a full day there might be a 100 different luck things. The person I hold the door for might turn out to matter in some way. I might happen to see an ad that turns out to be useful, whatever. With near certainty, I'll land some good and some bad, even over the course of a day. Over the course of a LIFETIME - hundreds of thousands of interactions, nobody is going to get lucky every single time, or unlucky 10,000 times in a row. His experiment calculated ONE random value for luck. But that's not how luck works in our lives. A better simulation would be to randomly assign 10,000 random values for lucky/unlucky (0 or 1) over the course of 10,000 different things, then sum those up. If you do that for 10,000 things that can happen, 10,000 coin flips, , you find that almost everyone gets a total luck score pretty darn close 5,000.

@@samermazahreh It's rather the other way around. We control it to a very meaningful degree, but luck contributes to the outcome. The more exceptional the outcome the larger the contribution, in general at least.

This video downplays how important hard work and competence are. If you're smart and hard working there's is an exponentially higher chance that you will succeed in something (maybe not the exact thing that you are striving for but something) then if you're not hard working and incompetent.

This is a very good comment. Some people might be feeling down after this, feeling as if they may not have had the same chances as others (me included) , but the fact is we can create our own luck. No matter how unfair life has been, as long as you keep working hard and keep knocking on those doors, there will come a time where one of those doors will open. It may take days, weeks, months or years, but you would rather work hard and try to get an opportunity than to sit at home and be upset about the unfairness of life.

Great comment.

I kind of disagree. Sometimes, no matter how many times you try, or how hard you work, you will fail. This is a fact of life and the sooner people learn that, the sooner they will stop believing in those pop psychology nonesense. In the past years, According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 20% of U.S. small businesses fail within the first year. By the end of their fifth year, roughly 50% have faltered. After 10 years, only around a third of businesses have survived. Surprisingly, business failure rates are fairly consistent and are not directly connected with covid 19 but rather is a fairly normal failure rates... So unless you get a little help from pure luck, whanever you try your hardess, you have a fair chance to lose your business, your health and your mind trying... Does that mean you should stop trying? No, but if you keep doing the same thing over and over, 'persistance' being your only strategy, it is not gonna work. You may need to change your approach, or consider 'failing for good', and move to something else... Adaptability is more useful than stubborness. And sometimes, accepting your failure is a big part of your future success.

@@jessikapiche6097 You need a large amount of luck and social connections, I agree. When I said that you should stay working hard and persist, you explained pretty much what I meant . Persistance doesn't necessarily mean being stubborn and executing the same method repeatedly, but rather the persistence in the ability to adapt and overcome. To look at your mistakes from an analytical viewpoint so that you could do the same task with higher efficiency. You adapt, persist, analyse mistakes and overcome.

Persistence isn't constantly walking into a wall until you get through, it's continuing to try to find a way around, over, or sometimes threw it, instead of giving up. So what you call adaptability I consider to be part of persistence.

Have a nice day. You are lucky. Most of the time I troll people. Hope you feel better later.

We're all together in it man! Keep up the hard work and good luck to you!

Keep at it brother. If you keep trying you'll surely have some good luck eventually. I wish you, and anybody else who might be struggling right now, nothing but the best.

I always say hard work and talents are what you need to buy the lottery ticket for extreme success. Luck is needed to win the lottery. If you don't have talent or work hard you would never buy the lottery ticket but if you do it then you get the chance to play the lottery. but winning the lottery is dependent on luck. This also applies to scientific innovation. An errant idea or thought which turned out to be right. Intelligence and knowledge itself are requirements for generating the idea but generating that idea is based on luck. This is more true now then in the past since most low hanging fruits have been picked.

No. Luck is always gonna be there and you have no actual control. But you can run unluckyness mitigation so you dont get fucked over.
