Along with intellect, I do believe luck and randomness have something to do with achieving your dreams. Yours are even more examples of that premise, and perhaps, one reason why net worth is so skewed. Guess all of us were just “lucky.”

Luck is the difference between having somewhere in the $2-5 million range and having another zero or two or three.
Some misfortune is just bad luck again a small portion. The bulk 99% of bad luck is really just a fair probability from the choices being made
You could.get cancer at 20 or 30 or even 40. But really why percentage of the non winners are we really talking

It tells the 90% that made bad choices that the other guy just tot lucky
