Some successful people say that in my dictionary, there is no such word as luck. Very easy to understand. Successful people are more willing to attribute their achievements to their own efforts, which makes them feel more fulfilled.

But some unsuccessful people don't want to believe in luck. They are worried that believing in luck will make them lose the motivation to struggle.

In the book Success and Luck, the author robert frank put forward different views:

This book caused great controversy, and some successful people angrily accused Frank of distorting the facts. Frank fully demonstrates the relationship between success and luck with a large number of cases and studies in his book, and his views are credible.

By the way, another book by economist robert frank, The Economics of Milk Coke, is also famous. He uses economic knowledge to explain various phenomena in life, which is interesting and readable, and can be read by people who don't understand economics at all.

Let's take a look at two cases in the book first.

1.

A few years ago, there was a very popular American drama called Breaking Bad. The first hero was Bryan Cranston, a middle-aged actor. He won many awards, but he was still half red. Before the release, there were several important events.

A. The script of Breaking Bad was rejected by many TV stations.

B Hollywood writers went on strike, and producer Vince Gilligan had plenty of time to elaborate this series.

C. On the list of candidates for The First Hero, cranston is behind the other two Daniel. Executives simply don't want to hire a nobody like cranston, for fear of wasting investment. However, the other two Daniels refused to be the first hero for various reasons.

There is little chance that cranston will become the first hero in the end. Breaking Bad became an instant hit after its release, and cranston suddenly became a Hollywood superstar.

There is no denying that cranston is definitely a talented and hard-working actor, but can you not thank luck for such success?

2.

Bill Gates is of course a genius and works hard, but if he was not born in the first wave of personal computers, but only entered the only private school in the United States that allowed students to use computer terminals with the function of "timely feedback" without restriction, and a series of "coincidences" later, the dominant company of personal computers would not be called "Microsoft".

There is no mention in the book that Bill Gates's mother is a director of IBM and his father is a famous lawyer in Seattle. His first big business was completed with the help of his mother. Isn't it lucky to be born in such a family?

3.

Let's look at another example around me. Most of my friends born after 60 or 70 have several suites. Because I bought it early, the price has gone up many times. Some people are very complacent and think that they have vision and are good at investing. In fact, they just happened to meet the era of low housing prices. The house they bought a few years ago, 10, has a low price and can make money wherever they buy it. If you don't mix badly, or if you are greedy for people who don't save money, it's really nothing to have several suites in second-tier cities.

They just shared the bonus of China's economic development, which is just luck!

If they really have the foresight to see the future, they will sell iron in a big pot to buy more houses and only go to first-tier cities to buy them. Coupled with leverage, they have long been financially free.

Nowadays, most of the post-80s and post-90s can't afford to buy houses in first-tier cities, mainly because of bad luck and catching up with the era of high housing prices.

If all the above examples are examples, the author still has a lot of statistics in the book.

For example, in the field of hockey, about 40% of the top professional league players in the world were born in June 5438+ 10, February or March, while only 10% were born in June 5438+ 10, June 5438+065438+/kl. The obvious reason for this skewed distribution is that the expected date of birth of the players participating in the junior ice hockey league is 1+0 every year.

Players born at the beginning of the year are the oldest members of their same age team.

On average, they are stronger, faster and more experienced than their teammates born in the next few months. They are more likely to stand out in each season, so they are more likely to be selected into a higher level of star teams, get better equipment and coaches, and so on.

Due to the small gap in the early stage, the Matthew effect was formed-one step ahead, one step ahead.

The author also counted the world records of eight sprint events, of which seven were created when the wind was downwind, and 1 was windless and windless.

Admitting the existence of luck can make successful people more humble, avoid being rich, be more grateful and repay the society.

Acknowledging the existence of luck can make ordinary people have more expectations in the process of hard work. "Princes and princes will meet, which one would you rather have?"

Zhou Jintao, an economist known as the king of cycles, famously said, "Life depends on Campo to make a fortune".

"Life is destiny, and everyone has three chances to change their destiny."

"samsara is the same as life, samsara is eternal, and every encounter in samsara is worth cherishing."

"People over 40 had their first chance in life in 2008. If you had bought stocks and houses, your life would have been very successful. In 2008, most of the post-80s just entered the workplace, and their income was not high. Few people can seize this opportunity. The post-90 s are underage, not to mention.

Before 2008, the last chance in life was 1999, and not many people aged 40 seized that opportunity, so 2008 was the first chance. "

"The second chance was in 20 19, and the last time was near 2030. If you can catch it once, you can become a middle class. "

In his speech "Life is a Campo", he mentioned that the economic cycle is 60 years, and there are three opportunities for wealth in life: in the past ten years, the typical rich man in China was a coal boss, and everyone must think that the coal boss is definitely not as capable as me. He became a coal boss because of the opportunity given by the weather. This is a bull market for commodities, which gives the coal boss a chance to make a fortune in life.

Theoretically, a person can only get three chances in his life. If you don't seize every opportunity, you will definitely lose your life wealth. If you seize one of these opportunities, you can at least become a middle class.

God Zhou is not a charlatan. He accurately predicted the economic cycle and made many successful predictions. Unfortunately, he died at 44.

Whether Kangbo's periodic theory is accurate remains to be verified by time. But good luck, everyone will have it, but some people are more.

The opportunity has come, standing in the wind, pigs can fly to the sky!

In short, what this book wants to express is that talent and hard work are necessary conditions for success, but there are many conditions for success, and luck is also crucial.

In my opinion, small success mainly depends on talent and hard work, but to achieve great success, luck is more important than hard work. Perhaps the best gesture of ordinary people is, "I have struggled in the world, and success or failure is not necessary for me." Man proposes, God disposes.
