Comment on Talent vs. Luck: the role of randomness in success and failureparent

Comments

Sometimes I think the same. But then again I think that this is a very depressing view because it’s somehow deterministic: there’s absolutely nothing in this view that can be attributed to yourself, because either it’s in your genes or the place you were born.

That’s why I don’t like that thinking. I want to believe that you’ve were given a spectrum from a start and that you can move in that spectrum if you want to by exposing yourself to luck (you’ll probably say: depending on your genes...)
