Individuals often focus on specific, non-repeatable lessons rather than broader, repeatable ones, leading to financial losses. Learning from successful individuals like Warren Buffett, John D. Rockefeller, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos should focus on skills that are transferable and repeatable, rather than trying to replicate specific strategies or contexts, which may not be applicable or successful in current situations.
Luck plays such a big role in the world. But few people want to talk about it. If I say you got lucky, I look jealous. If I tell myself that I got lucky, I feel diminished.
Maybe a better way to frame luck is by asking: what isn’t repeatable?
And maybe better yet: The way to get luckier is to find what’s repeatable.
