100 sats \ 1 reply \ @optimism 13h \ on: Do you believe luck or hard work plays a bigger role in success? AskSN
I'd say work. Rationale:
- "Hard" is subjective. Read for example @Car's comment re: a former OpenAI employee proclaiming that 7 weeks of 7-midnight was the hardest they worked in a decade.
- work is a prerequisite to success. If you don't work for it, it won't feel as success
- Luck can be a factor, but the more important is persistence.
Luck will move you either way, but when if turns against you and you fail you can learn and improve. Then, when luck favors you, you'll be even better. However, if you give up, i.e. you don't do any work anymore, then luck will not move your success: you stopped working on it.
Thanks for taking your time to explain this, it's really impactful.
