Comment on Ask HN: Would you rather be lucky or good?

Comments

When I took archery, someone attributed my skill to "luck". I think "luck" often means "I don't understand what went right or how to replicate that result". I would rather understand what went right, if possible, so I can do it again fairly reliably. Therefore I would rather be good than "lucky" -- good enough that other people accuse me of having "luck".
