If you think you have bad luck, think about someone who is worse off - there are some people, no matter how hard they work, never made much in life.  |
I'm not ungrateful at all about what I have and what I have managed to accomplish. I'm just saying I generally don't have "luck" on my side. I'm not blaming anything on it, I'm just saying that based on historical experience I'm not counting on any
"Just because you work hard, doesn't mean you will be successful. But if you don't work hard, you will likely never be successful."
With regards to luck.. let's just say my lifetime losses at casinos far outreaches what they should be based purely on statistical odds.. And despite the correctness of my investment theses .. let's just say some investment short positions haven't turned out right .. So I've become a bit tad risk averse when it comes to situations that are not under my own personal control.
