KEY TAKEAWAYS
Success is defined as living life on your own terms, making the world a better place, and leaving a positive impact on others.
Luck is often attributed to successful individuals, but it overlooks the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices they made behind the scenes.
The "lucky mindset" involves expecting good things to happen, actively seeking opportunities, and putting in the effort to achieve success.
Being an overnight success is a myth; true success requires time, effort, and continuous learning over weeks, months, or even years.
Guard your hard-earned success and resources with care, as it is the result of your labour, not just luck.
BEST MOMENTS
"Success is living life the way you want to live it, in pursuit of something worthy of your attention and energy."
"Luck is a nice way to explain things when you don't know what happened."
"When people say you're lucky, they didn't see the 18-hour days you put in week after week."
"The lucky mindset means you expect good things to happen and go out looking for them."
"Life is not a roulette game. Put the odds in your favour by doing things likely to have a positive result."
