RE: The Lie We Were Sold About Hard Work

One of the things they definitely do not talk about in business schools is that luck plays a major role in the outcomes of our lives. Of course, they don't mention it because luck is not "teachable." It's often random chance.

For example, I missed out on one of the largest business deals of my early life because there was a major traffic accident that kept traffic on the highway locked up for over an hour, so I missed the appointment. In spite of immediate phone calls, the contract was awarded to someone else.

That has nothing to do with hard work...
