    It’s not like you don’t need luck and I’m ignorant (arrogant?) enough to think all my life is of my own doing.

    To not reveal many personal details, let’s just say I’m from a very different background than you are and not much was handed to me. Not even a career path.

    I’ve been extremely lucky a few times and my hard working nature did the rest. Sure, without luck my hard work would be worthless. But without my hard work all the luck would amount to nothing.

    It all amounts to opportunities and for many people the opportunities are very few.
