4 levels of luck¶
4 levels:
Blind Luck : i.e. winning a lottery
Luck from Motion : Increase the surface area of being lucky by taking relevant action
Luck from Awareness : Be so skillful that you can see the opportunities that others don’t
Luck from Uniqueness : Be so known for your skill that people reach out to you when an opportunity arrises
So, one can improve their chances of being lucky.
“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” Milton Berle
