What's the biggest lie in success literature?
"You succeed because you did the right thing."
"You fail because you did the wrong thing."
But the reality is:
Good results don't necessarily mean you did the right thing.
Bad results don't necessarily mean you did the wrong thing.
I've reflected on this for many years without reaching a conclusion.
In the end, I can only admit:
Success depends on luck, failure is your own fault for not working hard enough.
And
Choosing the right path can improve your luck.
