Lucky people vs Successful people: Are being Lucky is matters to success?
In weekend, Me and my family planning to go out for culinary adventure, and we decide to eat in a Japanese restaurant. After eating, when we almost back at home, I see in the corner of the street, there a small fried rice restaurant that always crowded with customers.
My dad looks that restaurant and said:
Dad: what the crowd? what are they selling?
Big brother: Oh, that restaurant, they sell fried rice I have been there before.
My intuitive of being culinary adventurer comes rises, So I immediately ask:
Me: is the food that good?
Brother: No, it’s average. He answers it with a straight face.
Dad: Then why it’s crowded?
My brother answered with his best guess, he talks about the place and customer service. and my father nodded slowly and said:
Dad: hmmm.. then how about Mr’s Puji restaurant? Her restaurant has a similarity and the fried rice is really good, right? So why this restaurant can be this crowded?
And that moment my brother lost a word, with a face full of question, he said:
Brother: yeah, why is that?
Then that restaurant has a ton of luck, Said my father with a grin on his face.
My dad and my brother are laughing, but not me:

I think that a ridiculous answer.
luck? can make a success? I have refused this answer with all my heart.
So with confidence, I said: no way, there must be something that we don’t understand.
Then my father gives up (to avoid unnecessary debate) and say:
Dad: well. maybe you’re right.
Then we talk about other conversation.
But that little conversation about luck. Makes me questioning myself…
Is the luck matters to success?
Opinion people about luck on success.
As we know believing or not on luck is a personal thing, So I try to gather the opinion of other people.
And I found an interesting result:
According to the debate.org, 54% believe that successful people are just lucky and others 46% didn’t believe that.
To understand the mind of people that believe in luck and people that don’t, I narrow it to two important points to focus on.
-
How they see luck.
-
Their perspective on successful people on luck.
