It doesn’t help to say you succeeded because of luck or you passed an exam because you’re smart.
It’s tough to say exactly what gives you luck and if your smarts were genetic or trained.
Better to pin your success (and your failures) on what you can improve.
You know, like gumption and persistence and social magnetism and a lot of studying.
In our effort of simplifying things, we lose sight (and let ourselves off the hook) of what got us here, and when we choose to ignore what got us here, it becomes infinitely difficult to get to get going to a better place.
Stay Positive & Keep It Real
