One of my pet peeves is peopling telling me they're just
"unlucky," as an explanation for why they don't have a great job,
don't live in an exciting city or aren't in a fulfilling relationship. Really?
Even in poker, while there's
luck involved, there's also skill and the work of honing that skill. When it
comes to being discovered as an actor, or getting that coveted job at an
amazing law firm, there's always the luck of being in the right place at the
right time, but you're not getting the job without skill and hard work as well.
