You think success belongs to the most talented person in the room. It does not. Researchers simulated 1,000 forty-year careers. Talent followed a bell curve. Lucky and unlucky breaks landed at random. The most talented people reached the top in only 3% of the runs. The winners were usually average talent with an extraordinary run of luck.

Coleman Cox put it this way: “I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem to have.”
You cannot control luck. You can control what luck finds you doing. Stop waiting to feel ready. Do the work, show up when nobody is watching, and be working when your moment arrives.
