The Role of Luck in Success
Luck plays a significant role in achieving success, and it's essential to differentiate between blind luck and smart luck. Blind luck refers to random fortune without any action taken, while smart luck involves creating opportunities for positive outcomes through intentional choices and connections. For example, encountering someone unexpected in a coffee shop could lead to a meaningful relationship or business partnership if one chooses to engage in conversation. This understanding can greatly enhance the effectiveness of workshops and group events, emphasizing the importance of cultivating serendipity.
