Last year I read a book called "Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell. This book talked not about the talent of those who have made it big in one way or another, but the lucky breaks they got.
I have never really been a believer of luck. I have always thought that if you work hard, you will be rewarded. I am scared to say that I think I might have an error in my belief system.
I mean, how do you get from point A to point C? You start at point A and can work to point be, but sometimes that point C does not mean working hard. It is being in the right place at the right time, networking, or just getting noticed by someone who wasn't looking for you but decided to make the initiative.
Not that I am rushing out to buy those lucky rabbits feet or search in fields for four-leaf clovers, I would just like a smile from Lady Luck. Even if I just get a good story out of it, that would be worth it. I would catch that smile and run with it, just give me a chance.
