Why Being Unlucky Creates Successful People
People always want to know what it takes to be successful. While this may be one of those questions that is often asked by those who are not successful but strive to get there and yet there seems to be only a small portion of those willing to tell the truthful story of how they really achieved their success.
Everybodys path is unwritten and its what you make of it. To obtain success I have been lucky enough to be incredibly unlucky. Wait? What the heck did I just say? I have been lucky enough to be unlucky??
Yes that is correct. What this means is that winning is a result of trying that much harder because I know that luck and superstitious beliefs are not on my side. I do not play the lottery and entered a raffle the other day with 10 tickets with only 30 tickets sold my odds of winning where rather good but yet the guy who bought 4 tickets right before the drawing won 2 of the 5 prizes besting my 0.
This was when the epiphany happened about my luckiness. In any success story you hear about luck coming into play but yet the real answer is that you keep on trying and work hard and it will seem like you are getting lucky but yet in reality it’s the payoff for your hard work.
Another cliffnote worth mentioning is that those who are lucky in the beginning often up end failing. Why is this? While a psychologist may be able to give the most efficient answer it comes back to beginners luck and gambling. Those who lose the most win in the beginning and believe that they have a skill to which they later realize after losing a lot of money that is was just luck.
