Perhaps the more accurate statement, the more you try increases your odds of getting more lucky…The plausibility of the “luckiness” depends on what you are trying….I don’t think trying by repeatedly buying a lotto ticket would be very fruitful for most people.
Yes the irony is, I see more emphasis on people trying to do the get rich quick thing, than doing the hard sweat thing…
The problem is, I think many people have lost sight of the issue… A lot of people have stopped trying. Or try only for the simpliest, quickest, dirtiest, get rich quick thing. Many many many people, really don’t want to improve their own situation. A lot of folks have gotten too picky, and wouldn’t “stoop that low” to do something. And yet complain about things being “unfair”…Or worse, with the current predicament expect the government to make them whole.
A lot of it comes from picking career choices too and the motivations for picking career choices….
