[@thenerdywalker516]

I suppose it was my luck that I found this amazing channel and video through KZbins algorithm

[@stephenlitten1789]

No, but deciding to watch was.

[@center1581]

No, your own merit of good selection of videos caused the algorithm to recommend it to you.

[@asrashujayat4465]

Definitely that's what I'm always thinking like simple example some ppl are really good in playing piano or jazz instrumentals BUT THEN I GET TO KNOW THAT THEIR SOMEHOW PARENTS WERE MUSIC TEACHERS OR used to listen jazz all the time in home .MOST OF TIME ITS ENVIRONMENT AND PPL AROUND U THAT DOES YOUR CONDITIONING ..HH IF U SOME HOW BECOME ABLE TO BREAK THROUGH YOUR CONDITIONINGS THEN U ARE A HERO

[@ambararboleda5502]

I just love this channel

[@OgolordIntl]

This is a great video ❤❤❤

[@doriannemosich232]

"If it is to be it is up to me!" Thank~you Mom for teaching me this by example, you made my life better!

[@River.channel]

99% effort and 1% luck. Without that 1% luck, nobody can be successful.

[@MmmDe]

4th video I'm watching on your channel. I can relate so much. My video is done uploading so I'm off as soon as this video ends. Thumbs up to what you share!

[@jonathanjollimore4794]

Luck is well luck can't be measured or qualified in any meaningful way. The man who falls out of plane but lands on worlds biggest pile of foam and lives.

[@brainboxanky1729]

Part of this video is also explained by veritasium in the paradox of success

[@homestayjogjamurah]

If you roll the dice 100 times and can guess accurately 90 times, it will prove that you are lucky person

[@simplefahrenheit4318]

Did u try that, how many u got right? Technically everyone should get 16, but unlucky people still get less while lucky people might get 25 or something, 90 is a very big number, that is as I remember that's enough chance for non living matter to become living matter without any living interference.

[@BenNeedsATheme4aDream]

Isn't that scientist the quirkology guy!

[@Im-not-a-troll]

All I know is that everyone has a lucky and unlucky side. But most people focus on the unlucky side.

[@hungjiredviet1276]

I thinl the video's volume need to be regulated more louder.

[@nickm.9726]

"Luck" is a loose term. People can work hard, and get nowhere because they're working in the wrong direction. People who "work little" but get everything simply work in the right direction. You could press a brake pedal in a car in an effort to accelerate, and you could work you ass off and get nowhere, whereas you press the gas to accelerate and almost no effort is required.

[@mediacenterman8583]

1:29 Explain this to infant born into abusive environments. What opportunities did should they have taken?

[@Roxjetlagged]

Of course that is entirely different. Not about luck. There are reincarnation stories that are real that say that souls choose the lives they want to live because each soul comes on earth to learn. And some souls choose very bad lives and circumstances deliberately

[@Roxjetlagged]

And they said its also about where they are born etc

[@Roxjetlagged]

You didnt even listen to the rest... If you ask this. They literally said many factors are not about your mindset and things that happen to you like where you were born, illnesses etc etc

[@ClaudioLaureano936]

There is no bad luck. It's all in our minds, in how we choose to look/act in front of bad situations.

[@mediacenterman8583]

You can be killed by lightning in your own bed, or how about killed by a stray bullet? Stop talking bullshit. Life itself, from womb to the tomb is all about luck.

[@abhishekghosh4384]

Luck is the ability to access your inner intelligence to a greater degree than most other humans, either consciously or subconsciously. Their are dimensions of human being which are usually beyond the five gross physical senses, the domain from where things like esp, precognition, psychic abilities etc stem from, and the same dimension which people like Nikola Tesla, Srinivas Ramanujan, Edgar Cayce etc tapped into. This is the secret of luck.

[@stefannikola]

I have bad luck.

[@patrycjawanat4890]

don't worry, "everyone has the capability and potential to make themselves luckier. Understand the mindset of a lucky person, and you will bring good fortune into your life."

[@stevendalloesingh1214]

@@patrycjawanat4890 quoting the bald guy at the end. Noice!

[@soniaperez4526]

well, I suppose they don't do stupid things.
