You're a loser. Pick up a book and make your own luck. Stop waiting for the world to give you things, make things happen.

[@alvaroelias4929]

Conservative 101 One of the most successful businessmen just stated how luck has played an important role in his success. Luck plays a role. Some of us are lucky, some of us aren’t. Should it be used as an excuse for ones failure? That’s a different question.

[@tazcalifornia]

Alvaro Elias just because "luck" plays a role, it doesn't mean no one can achieve Immense wealth. You are the type of people that we shouldn't listen to. In fact, I thank you for making that comment. I am now more motivated to become wealthy one day. Thank you (:

[@tazcalifornia]

Conservative 101 you're right. People who say that "oh man success is based on luck" are the ones that give up easily. If that was the case then no one will try in anything. Don't worry, these are the types of people we should be thankful for. The people that say "you can't". We got this, let's become wealthy and make the world a better place 👌🏼

[@alvaroelias4929]

Jesus I’ve met people who worked tremendously hard and they never got to the place that they wanted. If all it took was hard work, more people would be successful.

[@dannykal]

Malcolm Gladwell describes exactly how people come into success (and all of the luck involved) in his book 'Outliers' that Buffet talks about at the beginning.

[@DoubleComedyG]

I saw this a year ago and now I've come back to it, it's more truer than ever. You can't get missed opportunities back. but if you miss out on an opportunity that's driven by luck than you've missed out. Luck is chance. And it's hard to just give into that because of risk...

[@ItsNotShakespeare]

Luck is half wanting something and half getting something. If you don't have an existing need to fill, then you can't call it lucky when it arrives. So luck comes to those who seek and predict, and then get fulfilled. The more you seek, predict, wish and hope, the more pay-offs will be noticed and called luck

[@orgasmatron4296]

@@CleanWithConfidence ancient civilizations looked at the sky and noticed the sun (son of god) brought food and warmth and that at night evil would destroy good and morning good destroy evil. But after more observation they noticed even more, the winter equinox is called the birth of christ while the spring equinox is his death all the way to him coming back (sun starts low and ends up high). Aquarius being the water bearer because around that time it rains more. In fact all gods 12 disciples are just the 12 months of the year. God isn't real its just how ancient people made sense of stars. That's why there are over 1000 religions around the world that we think are different but have literally the same story, died on a cross came back 3 days later, born of a virgin, yadda yada. If god were actually real people wouldn't be born with life threatening disabilities and handicaps, innocent people and kids wouldn't be getting cancer, hurricans and floods wouldn't kill innocent people, jesus supposedly made fish and bread appear but yet there is famine around the world. Religion is holding mankind back from truly understanding the universe and it gives people and excuse to not do anything substantial in times of crisis but rather hide and pray.

Being at the right place at right time ✨

[@3minutessmarter]

I agree that luck and chance play into success, but both of these individuals put themselves in positive situations. Positive breeds positive. Not getting into Harvard may seem like a bad thing, but Buffet still went to Columbia - a top-tier university and studied with some of the best and brightest. Jay-Z was in the right place at the right time (away from the sting) because he put himself there. I think that chalking all of this up to luck or chance understates the positive decisions these 2 have made.

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

kid i knew in med school a decade ago in london woke up one day in bed with internal bleeding for some reason i forget. he was dead a few days later. luck definitely plays a role but should not define us but to ignore good luck is ignorant. another guy i know in his 30s is dead from throat cancer (last year) and left his wife and kids behind. he just had bad luck in life. these things happen. warren buffet does not work out and does not eat healthy (see his diet video on youtube) yet he is alive at 88 (in 2018). that's also luck. you do want some luck on your side.

[@joshuasiler6320]

Yes but in Jay-z's case, he was there because he happened to have an opportunity at the point where a sting was happening. He didn't know it was coming. The timing of it was fortunate, the sting could have easily happened when he was around. That wasn't a result of him being positive and removing himself because he was in that element for a long time. It was just by chance that Jay-Z wasn't there at that point so I'd say luck was a big factor in his life.

[@comforth3898]

​@@Video-Games-Are-Fun Yeah but no one has control over luck and good fortune. So we might as well ignore them and focus on hardwork and positive attitude which we can control.

This video is great because most people never mention that you need luck on your side it’s not just discipline and hard work my family comes from Cuba and there is tons of hard working very disciplined súper inteligente people and just because where they where born becoming rich is a dream possibility is almost impossible.

It is one thing being wired for a certain career or talent but you have to pursue it. So simple yet I see so many talented artists for example who are told that a creative career is not for them and give up :(

[@metropcs1521]

This is a nice list

[@BeEazy717]

Perfect example of no matter where u come from you can make your mark im from marcy projects just like jayz this is something to really be amazed at.

[@TopeA8]

Luck is partly by our doing and also by sheer chance. Furthermore, the remarkable thing about luck is that we cannot anticipate it. Even when we speak of 'preparation', we are referring to increasing the likelihood that our intervention will coincide with unknown events, leading to something desirable! We do not actually know exactly how that relationship will be forged, when it will be forged and the exact results! Certainly human beings can increase their luck, but in actual fact, luck is simply the reality that human beings do not have the capacity to entirely comprehend the magnitude of their actions. People who say they do not believe in luck, are in reality in denial about their insignificance in the larger scheme of the universe. Ironically those people would consider themselves to be pragmatists, when in reality they are delusional and overly optimistic. Luck ceases to exist ONLY when an individual becomes invincible and all knowing! All that the delusional can say is that they refuse to RELY on luck. Or that they wish to not fixate on luck having a positive bearing on their livelihood. However, whether they like it or not, they cannot do away with luck, it is bigger than them.

[@talhaahmed2042]

Those successful people who say they are lucky are actually the people who are realistic and grateful and want to acknowledge the countless processes, people, events and the entire universe/cosmos working in harmony to make them successful. While unrealistic, self-centered and egoistic people love to take credit for everything they do when in reality they know they are just a breath away from death.
